Regenerative approach for root coverage with platelet-rich fibrin: A case report

Abstract

Gingival recession (GR) exposes the root surface and causes sensitivity, if left untreated it will lead to the root exposure with the bone loss around the teeth and eventually more complex periodontal defect. There are numerous surgical interventions are present in literature for treating gingival recession, the Coronally advanced flap (CAF) surgery is one of the most common procedures for the treatment. The Predictability of the treatment outcome can be increased by combining with other regenerative procedures. The platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is preferred to combine with CAF. PRF is prepared as the fibrin membrane that contains constituents of blood and favours healing at the surgical site. In this case report we are presenting treatment of Miller’s class II recession with CAF combining PRF.
