Abstract
The present study involved a comparative clinical evaluation of CAF with or without PRF membrane in the treatment of isolated gingival recession. The study population comprised of 20 subjects each with one Miller’s class I or II buccal recession defects. After randomization the control group was treated with CAF alone and the test group using CAF combined with PRF membrane. Clinical parameters like Gingival index (GI), Plaque index (PI), Recession depth (RD), Recession width (RW), Probing depth (PD), Clinical attachment level (CAL), Width of keratinized tissue (WKT) and Gingival thickness (GTH) were assessed at baseline, 3rd and 6th month. The data thus obtained were statistically analyzed using SPSS for Windows (version 16.0). From this randomized, controlled clinical study, the following conclusions have been elucidated, 1. CAF with and without the addition of PRF membrane yielded favorable clinical outcome in treating isolated gingival recession. 2. When comparing between the groups, there was no additional benefit by combining PRF with CAF in terms of Mean root coverage (MRC), Clinical attachment level (CAL) gain and Width of keratinized tissue (WKT) at 6th month. 3. With the addition of PRF membrane to CAF there was a statistically significant (p<0.01) increase in Gingival thickness (GTH) at 6th month. Within the limits of this study, it is important to emphasize that, the increased gingival thickness (GTH) obtained with PRF membrane and its influence on preventing further recession, should be evaluated with the studies involving larger number of samples and longer follow-up periods.
