Registration Number: CTRI/2019/06/019942

Lead Sponsor: Dr Swapna chekurthy

Brief Summary: Gingival recession is a common periodontal manifestation resulting in esthetic deformity and often associated with dentinal hypersensitivity. L-PRF is being widely studied in various dental procedures and its application in gingival recession defects is well documented. The recent modification of conventional PRF is the advanced platelet rich fibrin (A-PRF). Its efficacy is not been evaluated much in management of gingival recession. The current study proposes to assess clinical outcomes following the use of advanced platelet rich fibrin in management of gingival recession defects.
