Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether the combined connective tissue
graft (CTG) with injectable plateletrich fibrin (iPRF) with coronally advanced flap
(CAF) improved root coverage of deep Miller Class I or II gingival recessions com
pared with CTG alone with CAF.
Material and Methods: Seventytwo patients with Miller class I and II gingival reces
sions were enrolled. Thirtysix patients were randomly assigned to the test group
(CAF+CTG+iPRF [700 rpm for 3 min]) or control group (CAF+CTG). Clinical evalua
tions were made at 6 months.
Results:At 6months, complete root coveragewas obtained at 88% of the sites treated
with CAF+CTG+iPRF and 80% of the sites treated with CAF+CTG. Difference be
tween the two groups was not statistically significant. At 6 months, the recession
depth (RD) reduction and increase in keratinized tissue height (KTH) of the test sites
were significantly better compared with the control sites.
Conclusions: According to the results, the addition of iPRF to the CAF+CTG treat
ment showed further development in terms of increasing the KTH and decreasing
RD. However, this single trial is not sufficient to advocate the true clinical effect of
iPRF on recession treatment with CAF+CTG and additional trials are needed.

4. Castro et al 2017 Advantage of PRF
Clinical use of PRF has been widely adopted in the
treatment of GRs; however, the results are contradictory
(Aroca et al 2009, Eren & Atilla 2012, 2014, Gupta et
al 2015, Jankovic et al 2010, Keceli et al 2015, Kuka et

5. AIM
To determine whether the combination of CTG and
autologous iPRF with CAF can improve the RC of
isolated deep Miller Class I or II GRs compared to
CTG alone with CAF.
