Brief Summary

Gingival Recession is definedas exposure of the root surface due to apical migration of the gingival marginbeyond the cementoenamel junction.Treatment with Titanium-PRF autogenous  graft  allows  for thicker fibrin meshwork, continued integrity,tightly woven and thicker fibrin scaffold, more polymerized fibrin formation, longerresorption time (30 days), increased duration of released growth factor, excellentbiocompatibility, better hemocompability and platelet activation.

**AIM:**

To clinically evaluate and compare the outcome of Titanium-Plateletrich fibrin (T-PRF) membrane versus Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) using theconventional tunnel technique, in treatment of Miller’sclass I/II gingivalrecession sites, over a period of   6months.

**METHODOLOGY**

Presentstudy is a randomized controlled clinical trial with a Sample size of 20 subjects,having Miller’s class I/II recession sites. Following the selection ofrecession sites, patients will be randomly divided into two groups: GROUP 1 (TESTGROUP): - 10 sites with Miller’s class I/II gingival recessions to be treated with T-PRF. GROUP 2(CONTROL GROUP): - 10 sites with Miller’s class I/II gingival recession to be treatedwith CTG. Clinical Parameters to be assessed at Baseline (pre surgical phase), 1Month, 3 Months and 6 Months after therapy are: Recession depth ,Recession width ,Probing pocket depth ,Clinical attachment level, Keratinized tissue width. The visualanalog scale (VAS) will be measured during procedure and at 14 days aftertherapy. Wound Healing Index will be measured at 14 days and 1month aftertherapy. The statistical analysis will be done using paired ‘t’test and unpaired‘t’test.

**PROPOSEDCONCLUSION**:-

It is expectedthat the use of T-PRF will be equally effective to CTG in treatment  of Miller’s class I/II gingival recession.
