Amniotic membrane versus platelet-rich fibrin in treatment of gingival recession- a randomized control trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the efficacy of latelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and Amniotic membrane (AM) along with the coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique in treating Miller's class I gingival recession (GR) defects.

Material and methods

A total of 32 sites with Miller's class I GR defects were distributed into Group A (CAF + PRF, n = 16) and Group B (CAF + AM, n = 16). Clinical parameters like gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), gingival sulcus depth (GSD), relative attachment level (RAL), and gingival marginal level (GML) were measured at baseline and at 3, 6 and 9 months after surgical intervention.

Results

PRF and AM with CAF were effective treatment modalities for treating Miller's class I GR defects, with an average root coverage value
