Brief Summary:
The present study was a double-blind, randomised, controlled clinical trial with a parallel design, comparing the coronally advanced flap (CAF) with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and chorion membrane (CM) for the treatment of isolated gingival recession defects. A total of 50 patients were randomly divided into; Experimental site A: Twenty five sites were treated with coronally advanced flap (CAF) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane; Experimental site B: Twenty five sites were treated with coronally advanced flap (CAF) and chorion membrane (CM)The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, protocol was developed and ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethics Committee, Institute of Dental Sciences, Bareilly, India \[IDS/ETHCC/14/08\]. As per protocol, a study was conducted in five phases: (1) initial screening; (2) initial therapy and clinical measurements; (3) surgical therapy; (4) maintenance phase; and (5) post-operative evaluation after 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.
Detailed Description:
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a second-generation platelet concentrate, accelerates soft and hard tissue regeneration. Chorion membrane, of fetal origin, has wound-modulating properties. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of PRF and chorion membrane in treating isolated Miller's Class I or II gingival recession defects. Fifty recession defects in 50 patients were randomly treated with a coronally advanced flap (CAF) and PRF membrane (site A, n = 25) or CAF with chorion membrane (site B, n = 25). Clinical parameters recorded at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months included recession depth (RD), recession width (RW), clinical attachment level (CAL), width of keratinised gingiva (WKG), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and gingival biotype. Statistical analysis compared outcomes across follow-up intervals. At six months, both groups demonstrated significant improvements in RD, RW, CAL, WKG, PI, and GI compared with baseline. Mean percentage root coverage was 86.76 ± 13.76 in the PRF group and 82.89 ± 15.65 in the chorion group, with no statistically significant difference between them. Sites with an initial thin biotype showed conversion to a thick biotype in both groups. Both PRF and chorion membrane demonstrated predictable effectiveness for managing isolated recession defects, with comparable outcomes. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these findings.
