Introduction: Periodontal problems have taken top priority for treatment in patients suffering from periodontal diseases including
gingival recession. This study aimed to compare Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) along with Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) versus
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) along with Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) in 40 sites of miller’s class I and II recession sites over a
period of 3 years.
Materials and methods: 40 bilateral Miller's class I and class II gingival recession cases were selected for the study and divided
into two groups. Group A was treated with PRF and CAF whereas Group B was treated with CTG and CAF.
Following clinical parameters i.e., change in recession depth, change in probing depth, change in clinical attachment level, change
in width of keratinized gingiva were assessed at baseline 3, .. View more»
