Official title
Platelet Rich Fibrin and Autologous Fibrin Glue for Treating Periodontal Recession Defects: a Comparative Clinical Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and Autologous Fibrin Glue (AFG) are fibrin preparation derived from human blood samples and are used in regenerative dentistry. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of root coverage using PRF (+) AFG with a coronally advanced flap (CAF) or PRF only with a CAF compared to a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (CTG) with a CAF for treating Class 1 and 2 gingival recession defects. Additionally, to evaluate the level of keratinized tissue tissue thickness and width using PRF (+) AFG with a CAF or PRF only with a CAF compared to CTG with CAF for Class 1 and 2 gingival recession defects. Method: 48 patients with recession defects will be randomly divided into three different treatment groups. Treatment Group A (n=16) will consist of patients treated with PRF (+) AFG with a CAF, Group B (n=16) will consist of patients treated with PRF only with a CAF and Group C (n=16) will consits of patients treated with CTG with CAF as a control. Clinical measurements will be assessed at baseline and at 1 month and 6 months after the surgery. The clinical measurements that will be recorded, include probing depth, clinical attachment level, and gingval recession parameters. The gingival recession parameters include recession width, depth and thickness.
