Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Connective Tissue Graft for Treating Marginal Tissue Recessions: A Randomized, Controlled Split-Mouth Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

 This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) and connective tissue graft (CTG) in treating marginal tissue recessions.

Materials & methods

 Fifteen patients with isolated bilateral maxillary gingival recessions were recruited for the study, with 30 defects. The defects were classified as Miller's class I/II gingival recession on the canine or premolar region. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, each receiving one of the two treatment techniques (A-PRF or CTG) on a different side of the maxilla in a split-mouth design. Clinical parameters such as recession height (RH), recession width (RW), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), a width of attached gingiva (WAG), and kerat
