Third Generation Platelet Concentrate in Esthetic Management: A Case Report

Abstract

Gingival recession is the most common problem affecting mostly the middle and older age patients to some degree. It may affect the healthy persons with good oral hygiene status as well as the persons with untreated periodontitis. Gingival recession can cause dental hypersensitivity, root caries, and unesthetic appearance. Various periodontal surgical procedures are available which includes coronally advanced flap (CAF), and this procedure having some advantages and disadvantages. To enhance the clinical outcome of such surgical procedures, different regenerative materials have been combined with it. In the present case report, we aimed for the root coverage in Miller’s Class II gingival recession by means of CAF along with titanium platelet-rich fibrin membrane.
