Clinical substantiation of the platelet-rich plasma effectiveness in complex surgical treatment of gingival recession

Abstract

Gingival recession is a non-inflammatory pathological process characterized by apical migration of the marginal gingiva below the CEJ. The use of platelet-rich plasma is one of the current technologies in the complex treatment of gingival recession. The aim of the study was to increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of gingival recession using platelet plasma. As a result of the treatment of gingival recession I, II and III Millers classes, the coverage area of the recipient surface was 84%, 77% and 60%, accordingly; the thickness of the keratinized gingiva increased by an average of 2 times. The use of platelet plasma in the complex treatment of gingival recession optimizes the healing period in the regeneration phase, improves the microcirculation of periodontal tissues and reduces the duration of treatment by an average of three days; shows more efficiency due to less physiological shrinkage of the graft over time.
