The desire for improved esthetics has increased tremendously over the years. Periodontal plastic surgery deals with regenerative procedures designed to restore form, function and enhance esthetics.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sub epithelial connective tissue graft and PRF using pouch and tunnel technique as root coverage procedure.
Maxillary teeth with miller's class I gingival recession irt 11,12,13,21,22,23 were included in the study. Split mouth study was done with one site treated using sub epithelial connective tissue graft and another site using PRF, using both pouch and tunneling technique. Patients were followed up for a period of 6 months and 1 year. All the treated teeth showed 100% root coverage at the end of 6 months and 1 year. Gingival recession is a common occurrence and its prevalence increases with age. It can lead to clinical problems, diminished cosmetic appeal and hence esthetic concern. There are various techniques for root coverage. Sub epithelial connective tissue graft has shown the best predictability (95%) of root coverage in Millers class I & II cases.
