The use of platelet-rich fibrin membrane in gingival recession treatment

Abstract

Results of this study confirm both procedures as effective with equivalence of clinical results in solving gingival recession problems. The utilization of the PRF resulted in a decreased postoperative discomfort and advanced tissue healing.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin as a New Approach in Treating Gingival Recession: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Study design and patient features: Ten RCTs [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] were included as shown in Table 1. The age of the participants ranged from 18 to 52 years with a follow-up period ranging from 6 to 12 months.…”

“…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].…”

“…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].…”

Vista technique and Platelet-Rich Fibrin Membrane for Treatment of Multiple Adjacent Gingival Recessions - 6 month follow-up.

“…What is also important is that the resulting from the patient clot contains no chemical or biological additives while it has a solid structure and can easily be used to prepare strong, elastic fibrin membrane. Many publications with promising results appeared in the past few years about the treatment of gingival recessions with PRF [6,[12][13][14][15] . In 2011 Zadeh H H [16] modified the tunnel technique offering the so-called VISTA (Vestibular Incision subperiosteal Tunnel Access) technique for the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions in the front part of the maxilla.…”

Treatment of periodontal defect caused by iatrogenic damage: Case report

“…9 PRF, providing several advantages including supporting wound healing, bone growth, maturation, graft stabilization, wound closure and homeostasis, is utilized to provide high concentrated growth factors to the bone defect areas. 10 Aleksic et al 11,12 concluded that the use of PRF and SCTG are equally effective in GR treatment. Furthermore, the authors stated that the use of PRF resulted in reduced post-operative discomfort and improved tissue healing.…”
