Abstract
Introduction: Gingival recession is defined as displacement ofmarginal tissue apical to cementoenamel junction (CEJ). Thisprospective clinical study was designed to evaluate clinicallythe effect of lateral pedicle flap (LPF) with platelet‑rich fibrin(PRF) graft for the treatment of denuded root surfaces.Material and Methods: 20 isolated Miller’s Class I and IIgingival recession of single‑rooted teeth were selected for thestudy. Ist we started with caling and root planing, followed byoral hygiene instructions. Plaque index, gingival index, andrecession level (probing depth and clinical attachment level[CAL], were assessed at baseline. Following this, LPF withPRF was done at the recession sites, and parameters wereassessed at 3 and 6 months.Results: The mean level percentage of RC attained was 72.1%at 3 months and 73.4% at 6 months.Conclusion: LPF with PRF produced statistically significantreduction in recession depth and gain in CAL by the end of 6months.
