- Abstract
Gingival recession is defined as the displacement of soft tissue margin apical to cement-enamel junction with exposure of root surface. In the last decade, because of the ever increasing esthetic demands from patients, surgical techniques have been further developed to obtain complete root coverage associated with a perfect integration of the grafted tissue with the adjacent soft tissues. Choukroun's platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a fibrin matrix in which platelet cytokines and cells are trapped which are released after a certain time, and that can serve as a resorbable membrane. PRF production protocol attempts to accumulate platelets and released cytokines in a fibrin clot. This review aims to highlight the outcomes of various studies performed using the combination of coronally advanced flap and platelet rich fibrin in the treatment of Millers Class I and II gingival recession.
