Abstract | ||||
Background: The present study was conducted to compare the clinical outcome of using SCTG combined with coronally advanced flap against using PRF membrane combined with coronally advanced flap in treatment of gingival recession. Methods: fifteen patients with 20 recession defects were included in the study, Patients were divided according to treatment modalities into two groups. Group I: Patients were treated using SCTG combined with coronally advanced flap. Group II: Patients were treated using PRF membrane combined with coronally advanced flap. Measurements of gingival index (GI), Plaque index (PI), Recession height (RH), Probing depth (PD), Clinical attachment level (CAL) and width of keratinized gingiva (WKG) were recorded for both groups at baseline, 3 and 6 months post-operatively. Results: there was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding gingival index (GI), Plaque index (PI), Recession height (RH), Probing depth (PD), Clinical attachment level (CAL) and width of keratinized gingiva (WKG) after 3 and 6 months post-operatively. Conclusion: PRF membrane can be considered a safe and effective alternative treatment modality in treatment of gingival recession. | ||||
