Esthetic Gingival Management using Combination of Platelet-rich Fibrin and Collagen membrane: A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
Gingival recession can result in root sensitivity, esthetic concern to the patient, and predilection to root caries. Esthetic treatment such as root coverage procedures has become integral part of periodontal treatment. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an autogenous, less invasive and effective mode of treating gingival recession. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical outcome following use of PRF and collagen membrane along with coronally advanced flap to manage Miller Class I gingival recession defects in maxillary anterior region. PRF can be used as a membrane for periodontal tissue regeneration due to the ability to promote platelet aggregation, chemotactic for fibroblast and enhance wound stability, and proper healing. Hence, PRF in combination with collagen membrane can be successfully used as alternative to connective tissue graft for treating gingival recession.
