Abstract

Introduction:- Gingival recession can result in root sensitivity, esthetic concern to the patient, and predilection to root caries.  Aesthetic treatment such as root coverage procedures have become integral part of periodontal treatment. platelet rich fibrin  is a autogenous, less invasive and effective mode of treating gingival recession.

Objective:- To use of PRF and collagen membrane with coronally advanced flap (CAF) to manage Miller Class I gingival recession defects in maxillary anterior region.

Conclusion:- PRF can used as a membrane for periodontal tissue regeneration because of 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.
