Association of subepithelial connective tissue graft and plasma rich-fibrin for treatment of gingival recession – clinical case report with 12 months post-surgical follow-up

Abstract

Gum is a portion of periodontal tissue that plays an important role in protecting the surface of the teeth. Its migration beyond the boundaries of the cementum enamel junction, exposing the root of the tooth, is called Gingival Recession (GR) which increases susceptibility to root caries, dentin sensitivity, and aesthetic discomfort. Objective: The main goal of this case report is to describe a surgical procedure that combined the technique of subepithelial connective tissue graft and Plasma-rich fibrin for treatment of gingival recession. Case report: A man, 45 years old, leucoderma, attended the Positive University dental clinic complaining that ‘his gum was rising, and his teeth were sensitive’. Clinical buccal examination was performed according to international guidelines for periodontal data collection and was the man was diagnosed with GR in the region comprising the buccal faces of the first right upper molar to the first right premolar. Before surgical procedure, 60 ml of blood Gum is a portion of periodontal tissue that plays an important role in protecting the surface of the teeth.
