A Comparative Split Mouth Clinical Evaluation of Amniotic Membrane and Platelet Rich Fibrin in Patients with Gingival Recession: Two Case Reports

Preetika Bansal*

Gingival recession designates the oral exposure of root surface due to the displacement of gingival margin apical to cementoenamel junction. This is split mouth design study of two patients, the first of its kind, wherein patients having bilateral isolated recession were undertaken. Both the patients were treated using Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) with Amniotic Membrane (AM) on left side and CAF with Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) on right side. Recession height, width of keratinized gingiva, Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) was recorded. Patient was recalled after 3 and 6 months. The clinical outcome of these surgical procedure accounted for complete recession coverage and increase in width of keratinized gingiva, with both CAF with AM and CAF with PRF. Furthermore, the results were stable even after six months.
