Abstract: Objective To evaluate and compare the clinical effects and patients′ satisfaction with treatment of Miller Ⅰ or Ⅱ gingival recession by coronally advanced flap alone or with platelet rich fibrin(PRF). Methods Thirty patients with Miller Ⅰ or Ⅱ gingival recession and willing to undergo surgical treatment were selected and divided into experimental group (coronally advanced flap combined with PRF) and control group (coronally advanced flap). Periodontal probing depth, keratinized gingiva width, gingival recession depth and root coverage were recorded before surgery, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was analyzed, and the satisfaction questionnaire was filled out and analyzed. Results The clinical indexes of gingival recession depth and keratinized gingiva width at 3 and 6 months after surgery were significantly improved compared with those before operation in the experimental group and the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The width of keratinized gingiva between the two groups was statistically different at 3 and 6 months after surgery (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the periodontal probing depth, gingival recession depth, and root coverage between the two groups at 3 months and 6 months after surgery (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the periodontal probing depth between the two groups at 3 months and 6 months after surgery compared with that before the operation (P>0.05). The satisfaction of patients in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The results of this study further confirm that these two methods are effective for the treatment of Miller Ⅰand Ⅱ gingival recession, and the adjuvant application of PRF can increase the width of postoperative keratinized gingiva and improve patients′ satisfaction.
