Clinical Evaluation of Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin With Connective Tissue Graft for the Treatment of Deep Gingival Recession Defects.

Cukurova University72 enrolled

Overview

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether the combined connective tissue graft (CTG) with injectable platelet rich fibrin (i-prf) with coronally advanced flap (CAF) improved root coverage of deep Miller Class I or II gingival recessions compared to CTG alone with CAF. Methods: Seventy-two patients with Miller class I and II gingival recessions were enrolled. Thirty-six patients were randomly assigned to the test group (CAF+CTG+i-prf) or control group (CAF+CTG). Clinical evaluations were made at 6 months

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

gingival recession depth

the distance between the CEJ and gingival margin-measurements were performed at the midbuccal aspect of the teeth, by manual probe and were rounded up to the nearest millimetre

Time frame: six months

Keratized tissue height

measured from the mucogingival junction to the gingival margin-measurements were performed at the midbuccal aspect of the teeth, by manual probe and were rounded up to the nearest millimetre
