Abstract

Soft tissue recession leads to root exposure which results in root caries, unaesthetic appearance and dentinal hypersensitivity. Aesthetic treatment such as root coverage procedures have become integral part of periodontal treatment. Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a new promising autogenous, less invasive and effective mode of treating gingival recession. This case report highlights the use of PRF in Miller Class I gingival recession defects.
