Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the use of PRF matrix as a method of treatment for gingival recession in comparison to subepithelial connective tissue graft combined with the tunnel technique.Materials And Methods: The tunnel technique was chosen because it involves maintenance of the physical integrity of the interdental papillae avoiding vertical incisions, which renders the preparation of the recipient site less traumatic, resulting in enhanced early initial healing and homogeneous color matching. PRF was chosen for the test group as it is rich in growth factors promoting tissue regeneration through inducing proliferation of different cells and enhancing the healing potential of soft tissues. The current study was performed on 22 recession sites. The recession sites were randomly assigned to either the PRF group(test) or the SCTG group (control). By the end of the postoperative 6 months, the root coverage aesthetic score (RES) system was used to evaluate the overall aesthetic outcome after root coverage procedures. Results : There was no statistically significant difference between both groups concerning the total aesthetic score with (7.333±0.333) and (8.076±0.788) for PRF and SCTG respectively. Conclusions1-The tunnel technique offers excellent esthetic outcome regardless of the used graft with perfect postoperative color match and no scarring.2-Both PRFand subepithelial connective tissue graft combined with tunnel technique proved as an effective treatment modality for the gingival recession.3-The morbidity and time needed for the second surgical site in the SCTG technique were eliminated in the PRF technique.
