Coronally repositioned flap procedure for gingival root coverage using human derived regenerative membranes - A case series

Abstract

The aim of this case series was to evaluate the effectiveness of platelet rich fibrin (PRF), Amnion and chorionic membrane for root coverage procedures using a coronally repositioned flap (CRF). Three subjects with Miller’s class I gingival recession were randomly selected for treatment using CRF with PRF, Amnion and Chorion membranes. The clinical parameters evaluated at baseline and 6 months follow up included: probing depth (PD), relative attachment level (RAL), recession height (RH), recession width (RW), width of keratinized tissue (WKT) and Gingival thickness (GT). Within the limits, this case series has shown that the use of human derived regenerative membranes along with CRF resulted in complete root coverage in Miller’s Class I gingival recessions in much lesser time. The rapid healing and regeneration of these membranes stands as an alternative for connective tissue autografts and holds promise for future.
