Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Coronally Advanced Flap for Gingival Recession Treatment
28. maj 2026 opdateret af: Nguyen Thi Minh Ngoc, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City
Clinical Effectiveness of Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin Combined With Coronally Advanced Flap for Gingival Recession Treatment
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding a natural healing material works better to treat receding gums in adults. Receding gums is a condition where the gum tissue pulls back and exposes the tooth root. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the addition of this healing material help cover the exposed root better than the standard surgery?
- Does the material help the gum tissue heal faster and become thicker? Researchers will compare a standard gum surgery alone to the standard gum surgery combined with Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF). A-PRF is a healing material made directly from the participant's own blood during the surgery. This comparison will help see if A-PRF improves the final cosmetic look and gum health.
Participants will:
- Have their blood drawn at the start of the surgery to create the A-PRF material.
- Receive the gum surgery with or without the A-PRF material. Visit the clinic for checkups and gum measurements at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the surgery.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
- Background and Rationale Gingival recession is a prevalent anatomical defect characterized by the apical shift of the gingival margin past the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). The Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) is a reliable and widely applied technique for achieving esthetic root coverage. To overcome the limitations of autogenous grafts, Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) has been introduced as a biologic adjunct. A-PRF is developed based on the Low-Speed Centrifugation Concept (LSCC), providing a porous 3D fibrin scaffold that continuously releases essential growth factors (such as PDGF, VEGF, and TGF-β) to accelerate soft tissue regeneration. This randomized, controlled, parallel-design clinical study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of CAF combined with A-PRF versus CAF alone in treating localized gingival recession defects.
- Study Design and Sample Size The required sample size was calculated based on reference data from Padma et al. (2013) to achieve 80% power with a significance level of α = 0.05. Accounting for a 20% anticipated dropout rate, the final sample size was set to 11 defects per group, yielding a total of 22 gingival recession defects. Eligible participants must be 18 years or older, present with Cairo RT1 recession defects in the anterior or premolar region, and exhibit a keratinized tissue width ≥ 1 mm, keratinized tissue height ≥ 2 mm, and probing depth ≤ 2 mm. Defects are randomly allocated into the Test Group (CAF + A-PRF membrane) and the Control Group (CAF alone).
Clinical and Surgical Procedures
- A-PRF Preparation: At the initiation of the surgical procedure, 10 ml of venous blood is collected using a 24G butterfly needle into sterile glass tubes. Centrifugation is performed intra-operatively using a PRF Duo Quattro machine at 1500 rpm for 14 minutes following the LSCC protocol. The resulting A-PRF clot is carefully compressed in a PRF box to form a membrane with uniform thickness without damaging the cellular structure.
- Surgical Protocol: The surgical intervention follows the standardized CAF technique proposed by Martina Stefanini and Giovanni Zucchelli (2021). Following local anesthesia with Lidocaine 2% and mechanical root debridement, the root surface is chemically conditioned with EDTA 24% (PrefGel). In the Test Group, the intra-operatively prepared A-PRF membrane is stabilized over the defect using 6/0 resorbable sutures, whereas no graft is applied in the Control Group. The flap is then coronally advanced and secured tension-free with suspensory and interrupted sutures.
Data Collection and Statistical Analysis
- Clinical Assessments: Wound healing is evaluated using the Early Healing Index (EHI) at 1, 2, and 4 weeks post-surgery. Periodontal parameters-including Recession Depth (RD), Recession Width (RW), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Gingival Thickness (GT), and Height of Keratinized Tissue (HKT)-are measured at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months by a calibrated, independent examiner using a UNC-15 probe and customized acrylic stents. The Mean Root Coverage (MRC), Complete Root Coverage (CRC), and Root Coverage Esthetic Score (RES) will also be calculated.
- Statistical Analysis: Data is processed using JASP version 0.96. The Shapiro-Wilk test is utilized to check for normal distribution. Intra-group variations over time are analyzed using the Friedman test followed by Conover post-hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction. Inter-group differences are assessed using the Mann-Whitney U test, with statistical significance strictly defined as p < 0.05.

Patients in this group will receive the Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) surgical technique combined with an Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) membrane to treat the localized gingival recession defect.
The A-PRF membrane is prepared intra-operatively from the patient's own venous blood.

The surgical procedure involves mechanical root debridement and chemical conditioning with 24% EDTA.
An Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) membrane, prepared intra-operatively from the patient's venous blood using low-speed centrifugation (1500 rpm for 14 minutes), is adapted over the exposed root surface and secured with resorbable sutures.
A Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) is then mobilized, advanced coronally to completely cover the A-PRF membrane and the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), and secured.
