The Adjunctive Effect of Platelet Rich Fibrin to Connective Tissue Graft in the Treatment of Buccal Recession Defects. Results of a Randomized Parallel Group Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating platelet-rich fibrin, connective tissue graft, and 1 other intervention for Gingival Recession. Completed, enrolled 40 participants.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of coronally advanced flap (CAF)+connective tissue graft(CTG)+platelet-rich fibrin(PRF) combination in Miller I and II recession treatment by comparing with CAF+CTG. 40 patients were surgically treated either with CAF+CTG+PRF (test group) or CAF+CTG (control group). Clinical parameters of plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), vertical recession (VR), probing depth (PD), attachment level (AL), keratinized tissue width (KTW), horizontal recession (HR), MGJ localization (L-MGJ), tissue thickness (TT) were recorded at baseline, 3 months (PS1) and 6 months (PS2) post-surgery. Root coverage (RC), complete RC (CRC), attachment gain (AG), and keratinized tissue change (KTC) were also calculated.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
autologous platelet-rich fibrin was isolated from venous blood of each patient by defined centrifugation methods
connective tissue graft was harvested from the palatal region of each patient by single incision method
buccal gingival flap was raised by sharp-blunt-sharp dissection and positioned coronally to cover connective tissue graft (and platelet-rich fibrin gel)
