Recession Coverage using Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) with Platelet- Rich Fibrin (PRF): A Case Report

Abstract

Gingival recession (GR) is the most commonly seen problem in middle age and elderly population as well as periodontally
affected individuals. GR leads to various complications including dentinal hypersensitivity, root caries, and poor esthetic.
Many periodontal surgical procedures have been used for the treatment of GR but the most optimum outcomes are seen with
coronally advanced flap (CAF). Various regenerative materials such as sub-epithelial connective tissue graft, free gingival
graft, and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) have been used with CAF to aid its clinical outcome. PRF membrane is easily available and
good regenerative potential becomes material of choice. Therefore, in this case series, our objective was to gain root coverage
in cases of Miller’s Class I and Class II GR using CAF with placement of PRF.
