Abstract :

Background: The aim of this case series was to evaluate the effectiveness of platelet rich fibrin (PRF), Amnion and chorionic membrane for root coverage procedures using a coronally repositioned flap (CRF). Materials and Methods: Three subjects with Miller’s class I gingival recession were randomly selected for treatment using CRF with PRF, Amnion and Chorion membranes. The clinical parameters evaluated at baseline and 6 months follow up included: probing depth (PD), relative attachment level (RAL), recession height (RH), recession width (RW), width of keratinized tissue (WKT) and Gingival thickness (GT). Results & Conclusion: Within the limits, this case series has shown that the use of human derived regenerative membranes along with CRF resulted in complete root coverage in Miller’s Class I gingival recessions in much lesser time. The rapid healing and regeneration of these membranes stands as an alternative for connective tissue autografts and holds promise for future.
