Management of thin gingival phenotype using non-surgical methods (injection of liquid platelet rich fibrin and exposure to low level laser therapy
Thin gingival phenotype can lead to recession and root exposure. Liquid prf can be obtained by centrifugion of blood sample on speed 700 rpm for 3 min, then injection of this liquid in the attached gingiva and muco-gingival junction (3 times with 7 days interval) for the first group. The second group will be injected with I-PRF in the same method in addition to exposure to Low Level Laser therapy (after each injection of I-PRF). This method is expected to increase the thickness of the gingiva.
