Application of platelet fibrin as gingival graft: case report

Abstract

A 65-year-old female patient, ASA 2 (with arterial hypertension) came to the office complaining of sensitivity and aesthetic discomfort in units 41 and after clinical examination, Miller Class I recession (Figure 1) was observed in the units, and little keratinized tissue in the region. A sub epithelial connective tissue graft procedure was suggested to the patient to cover the region (as it is the standard model), but the patient did not want to undergo two surgical sites. Then the patient was suggested to use L-PRF as a replacement for the subepithelial graft.
