Comparison of two surgical techniques in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions sandwiched with a combination of A-PRF and L-PRF

摘要

AimThe aim of this study is to compare semilunar vestibular incision technique with pouch and tunnel technique in combination with A-PRF and L-PRF for treatment of Miller’s class I and II multiple gingival recessions.MethodThis is a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, split mouth study which consists of 16 systemically healthy patients with 96 sites and a mean age of 34.2?years, and divided randomly into 2 groups, Group A consists of semilunar vestibular incision technique sandwiched with A-PRF and L-PRF and Group B consists of Pouch and tunnel technique sandwiched with A-PRF and L-PRF. Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 3?months and 6?months which include plaque index, gingival index, recession depth, recession width, clinical attachment loss and width of keratinized tissue.ResultsAll the clinical parameters showed significantly better levels for both the groups from baseline to 6?months. Semilunar vestibular incision technique showed greater significance when compared to pouch and tunnel technique from baseline to 6?months post operatively.ConclusionThe combination of A-PRF and L-PRF with pouch and tunnel technique and semilunar vestibular technique showed better outcome 6?months post operatively. Semilunar vestibular incision technique showed promising results than pouch and tunnel technique for the treatment of multiple gingival recessions.
