Titanium-prepared Platelet Rich Fibrin Versus Connective Tissue Graft for Management of Type-2 Gingival Recession

Titanium-prepared Platelet Rich Fibrin Versus Connective Tissue Graft for Management of Type-2 Gingival Recession: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using titanium prepared platelet rich fibrin with coronally advanced flap in the treatment of type-2 Cairo gingival recession.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Gingival recession type 2 according to Cairo et al (2011).
• Adequate amount of Attached Gingiva (AG) (2 mm≤ AG).
• Good oral hygiene (full mouth bleeding score and O'Leary index less than ≤10 % after complete phase I therapy)
• Clinically thick gingival biotype (1mm < gingival thickness).
• Anterior esthetic zone.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with gingival recession types 1 and 3 according to Cairo et al.
• Inadequate amount of attached gingiva (AG < 2 mm).
• Uncooperative patients.
• Smoking more than 10 cigarettes per day.
• Patients with known systemic conditions or taking medications that may affect soft tissue healing.
• Pregnant and lactating women.
• Patients with parafunctional habits.
