- Abstract
The purpose of periodontal plastic surgery is to correct the lost attachment apparatus and the soft tissue deformities associated with periodontal disease. Multiple surgical techniques associated with the harvest of autogenous soft tissue grafts (free gingival or subepithelial connective tissue grafts) or the use of donor tissues are described in the literature and are associated with increased morbidity, cost, and safety issues. Advanced platelet-rich fibrin (APRF) represents the third generation of blood-derived growth factors widely used in medicine and periodontics. Fibrin-assisted soft tissue promotion is a simple surgical technique associated with the use of APRF as a source of autogenous growth factors that allow the recipient soft tissue to promote the fabrication of new keratinized and attached tissue without a donor site.
