Abstract:
The aim of this split-mouth clinical study, covering a 6 month period, is to compare
the results obtained from Leucocyte and Platelet Rich Fibrin Membrane (L-PRF) and
Connective Tissue Grafting (CTG) in the treatment of class 1 Miller gingival recessions
in a patient with thick gingival biotype. The results show that the use of L-PRF
membrane provides partial coverage of the recession, as well as lower subjective patient
discomfort when compared with CTG. However, CTG provides a higher percentage of
root coverage and better aesthetic results than the L-PRF membrane after a period of
6 months.
