Clinical Evaluation of Two Different Surgical Techniques With PRF in the Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recessions
Sponsor: Pamukkale University
Summary
This prospective clinical study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of coronally advanced flap (CAF) and tunnel techniques, both combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), in the treatment of multiple Miller Class I-II gingival recessions. Eleven participants with bilateral defects will be treated using a split-mouth design. Periodontal parameters will be assessed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.

Conditions
Interventions
CAF with PRF
Coronally advanced flap technique will be performed to reposition the gingival margin coronally. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membranes will be placed over the exposed root surfaces and stabilized with sutures.
Tunnel with PRF
A tunnel or subgingival pouch will be created using microsurgical instruments without vertical incisions. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membranes will be inserted into the tunnel and the gingival tissue will be advanced coronally and sutured to cover the recession.
