The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the clinical effects of Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF) and Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) applied together with Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) technique using a microsurgical approach in the treatment of Type I multiple gingival recessions (GR).

After local anesthesia, initially, sulcular incisions were made on the buccal aspect of the teeth and two vertical incisions were made. A trapezoidal flap was elevated with a split-full-split approach in the coronal-apical direction. The anatomic inter-dental papillae adjacent to the involved tooth were de-epithelialized. Plaque, calculus, and soft tooth structures on exposed root surfaces were removed with curettes. No further mechanical or chemical root conditioning materials were performed. The flap was coronally placed over the membranes to completely cover the CEJ and sutured with 6.0 propylene suture.

Blood samples were collected into 10 ml glass-coated plastic tubes without anticoagulant solutions. These tubes were placed into CGF centrifuge machine and centrifuged immediately . CGF membrane were placed over the defect. The flap was coronally placed over the membranes to completely cover the CEJ and sutured with 6.0 propylene suture.

Complete and mean root coverage
Percentages of root coverage and complete root coverage were calculated according to the following standard formulae. Percentage of root coverage: \[(preop. vertical gingival recession (VGR)- postop.VGR)\\ preop. VGR\] x 100 Percentage of complete root coverage: \[(teeth with complete root coverage) \\ (all treated teeth)\] x 100.
Time frame: Change from baseline at 6 months of the percent of complete and mean root coverage
Gingival thickness
The gingival thickness was evaluated midbuccally in the attached gingival (GT-MB), halfway between the mucogingival junction and free gingival groove and at the base of the interdental papilla. GT was measured by using a periodontal probe with a rubber stopper under local anesthesia, and then the thickness was assessed by transferring to an electronic digital caliper.
Time frame: Change from baseline at 6 months of the gingival thickness
Keratinized gingiva width (WKG)
The WKG was determined by subtracting the VGR from the CEJ- MGJ (mucogingival junction).
Time frame: Change from baseline at 6 months of keratinized gingiva width
Patient esthetic score (PES)
Patient esthetic score (PES) to evaluate esthetic appearance (color, appearance, and form of the selected site), PES: bad-unlikely esthetics (score 0) → perfect esthetics (score 10)
Time frame: Change from baseline at 6 months of the patient esthetic score
Patient comfort score (PCS)
Patient comfort score (PCS) for the pain, edema and other experiences regarding operating technique, instruments, and microscopic view, etc. PCS: unbearable discomfort (score 0) → no-discomfort (score 10).
Time frame: Change from baseline at 6 months of the patient comfort score

Hypersensitivity score (HS)
"Hypersensitivity" score was recorded after blasting air (60 psi, 22°C) derived from a dental syringe that was heading for the root surface for 1 s. The syringe was held at 90° angle, 2-3 mm from the root surface. Neighboring teeth were shielded during testing with the dentist's gloved fingers; then the patient has enquired again to score the discomfort level. HS: no pain (score 0) → worst pain imaginable (score 10)
Time frame: Change from baseline at 6 months of the hypersensitivity score
