The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of L-PRF in increasing the width of the keratinsed mucosa around implants. Furthermore, it was assessed whether this surgery was associated with significantly less post-operative discomfort for the patient compared to Free Gingival Graft surgery. L-PRF for increasing keratinised mucosa around implants.
