The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of platelet- rich fibrin and coronally advanced flap technique in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions in comparison with connective tissue graft technique.
Aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of platelet rich fibrin (PRF)+coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions in comparison with connective tissue graft (CTG)+CAF technique.12 patients with bilateral Miller Class I multiple gingival recessions were treated with PRF+CAF (test group) and CTG+CAF (control group) technique in a split-mouth study design. Probing depth, recession depth (RD), clinical attachment level (CAL), recession width, position of gingival margin, papilla width, keratinized tissue height (KTH), keratinized tissue thickness (KTT) were measured at baseline and 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. Root coverage (RC) and complete root coverage (CRC) ratios were evaluated post-operatively.

Exclusion Criteria:
Coronally advanced flap and platelet rich fibrin were used in treatment arms.
Procedure: Platelet rich fibrin and coronally advanced flap
Coronally advanced flap and connective tissue graft were used in treatment arms.
Procedure: Connective tissue graft and coronally advanced flap
CAF were used in treatment arms. Root planning was performed on the exposed part of roots to provide more biocompatible surface for re-attachment. Two 10 cc tubes with clot activator were used to collect blood from the patient; blood was centrifuged at 2700 rpm for 12 min. PRF box was used to form fibrin clots into membranes. PRF was positioned at the level of the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), and sutured on the periosteum bed with 6/0 absorbable sutures. Gingival margins on the flap were placed at least 1 mm coronally of the CEJ and sutured with 5/0 absorbable sutures. Sutures were removed at 2nd week.
Control sites were treated by coronally advanced flap (CAF) combined with connective tissue graft (CTG). CAF were used in both treatment arms. Root planning was performed on the exposed part of roots to provide more biocompatible surface for re-attachment. CTG was obtained with single incision method. CTG was positioned at the level of the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), and sutured on the periosteum bed with 6/0 absorbable sutures. Gingival margins on the flap were placed at least 1 mm coronally of the CEJ and sutured with 5/0 absorbable sutures. Sutures were removed at 2nd week.
Percentage of Root Coverage
The percentage of root coverage was calculated according to the preoperative recession depth to postoperative recession depth.
Time frame: 12 months
Complete Root Coverage
Complete root coverage was calculated according to measurement of the pre and post operative gingival margin which was above the enamel-sement junction.
Time frame: 12 months

Ran from Apr 2014 to primary completion in Feb 2017, 34 months.
Of 229 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Gingival Recession, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 31. This study's 34 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 231 studies reached it within 19 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 31.
