Abstract
Association between platelet-rich fibrin and collagen matrix for root coverage: Case Series.
Highlights
Many periodontal plastic surgery techniques and flap designs have been proposed to obtain a highly predictable and long-term root coverage by augmenting gingival tissue dimensions
Revised work: 25/06/2020 Approved for publication on 17/07/2020. The aim of this case series was to evaluate the effectiveness of the collagen matrix (CM) associated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the treatment of gingival recession (GR)
The following parameters were assessed: [1] gingival recession depth (GRD in mm) measured as the distance from the CEJ to the gingival margin; [2] pocket probing depth (PPD in mm), which was analyzed at the distobuccal, mid-buccal and mesiobuccal aspects of surgical sites, and was considered the distance from the gingival margin to the apical portion of the periodontal sulcus; [3] keratinized tissue width (KTW), measured as the distance from the mucogingival junction (MGJ) to the gingival margin; [4] gingival thickness (GT mm) measured 3 mm apically from the free gingival margin at the mid-buccal aspect of the tooth using a dental endodontic hand file (K File Kerr 30mm #10)
Summary
Many periodontal plastic surgery techniques and flap designs have been proposed to obtain a highly predictable and long-term root coverage by augmenting gingival tissue dimensions. Mucograft® is a resorbing porcine matrix composed of a bilayer structure of collagen type I and type III, which acts as a substitute in cases of loss of the connective tissue structure around teeth and implants This collagen matrix (CM) guarantees unlimited availability, surgical time decrease and fewer postoperative complications due to the lack of a donor site[2]. We proposed the use of PRF as a combination material, based on its potential to enhance fibroblast activity and angiogenesis stimulation, to improve the CM clinical results. This case series aimed to present the effect of the CM associated with PRF in the treatment of gingival recessions concerning root coverage and KT gain
