Comparative clinical evaluation of coronally advanced flap with or without platelet rich fibrin membrane in the treatment of isolated gingival recession
Abstract:Aim:The aim of this study was to determine whether the addition of an autologous platelet rich fibrin (PRF) membrane to a coronally advanced flap (CAF) would improve the clinical outcome in terms of root coverage, in the treatment of isolated gingival recession.Materials and Methods:Systemically healthy 20 subjects each with single Miller's class I or II buccal recession defect were randomly assigned to control (CAF) or test (CAF + PRF) group. Clinical outcome was determined by measuring the following clinical… Show more
“…The age of the participants ranged from 18 to 52 years with a follow-up period ranging from 6 to 12 months. Four included studies compared PRF in conjunction with CAF (PRF + CAF) to CAF alone (CAF) [31,33,36,40] while other four studies compared PRF + CAF to CAF in conjunction with CTG (CAF + CTG) [34,35,37,39]. One study assessed the effect of the addition of PRF to CAF in conjunction to CTG (PRF + CTG + CAF) and compared the results with CAF + CTG [32].…”

“…While, one study included all teeth [40]. The remaining three studies did not mention the type of teeth treated in a detailed manner [31,36,38]. All studies included Miller's class I and II GR; however the exact baseline depth of recession was mentioned in only one study [38].…”

“…Four studies clearly included both maxillary and mandibular (2) teeth [31,32,35,40], where as two included maxillary teeth only [33,39]. The remaining four studies did not mentioned which arch was treated [34,36,37,38].…”

“…A full thickness periosteal flap was elevated on the buccal aspect of the tooth being treated in four trials [31,36,37,39], where one of them obtained a trapezoidal full thickness flap by the addition of two vertical incisions starting from its mesial and distal extremities extending beyond the muco-gingival junction [31]. Howeve, the other three did not perform any vertical incisions [36,37,39].…”
