A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE CLINICAL OUTCOME IN TREATING GINGIVAL RECESSION USING CONNECTIVE TISSUE GRAFT WITH OR WITHOUT INJECTABLE T PRF ALONG WITH CORONALLY ADVANCED FLAP A SPLIT MOUTH STUDY

In this current split mouth study, a total number of 15 patients who will be visiting to the outpatient department of Periodontics will be selected for the present investigation through a careful selection process adhering to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, following the acquisition of informed consent. The quadrants will be categorized using flip coin method. The sites which will be treated with connective tissue graft alone will be considered as Group - I. Then sites which will be treated with connective tissue graft along with the injectable t-prf will be considered as Group - II.

·      Initially scaling and root planning will be done under local anesthesia followed by oral hygiene instructions. The patient will be recalled for periodontal surgery.

·      The following Clinical Parameters will be recorded at Baseline, one month, three months six months.

a.     Gingival bleeding index

b.     Plaque index

c.     Gingival recession depth

d.     Gingival recession width

e.     Clinical attachment level

f.      Keratinized tissue height

·       Connective tissue graft: We chose the harvesting site on the palate on the basis of the amount and quality of tissue and connective tissue graft was obtained by means of the De-epithelization of Free Gingival Graft.

·       Preparation t-prf: Intravenous blood was collected in two titanium tubes of 10ml without anticoagulant and centrifuged immediately at 700rpm for 3min at room temperature. The upper liquid layer was collected as injectable t-prf.
