Background: Gingival recession was one of disorder that frequently found in periodontal tissue. It is a result in exposed root surface and causing discomfort on patient due to the dentin hypersensitivity. One of various modification of gingival recession treatment is the use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in combined with coronally positioned flap. Objective: The present case aims to describe the effectiveness of coronally advanced flap (CAF) in combined with PRF in root coverage of Miller’s class 1 gingival recession.
Case: A 23 years old female patient complains that she feels a slight pain discomfort on her upper right teeth while taking cold beverages. Clinical findings shows that her upper right premolars having a gingival recession, making her root exposed.
Case management: Prior the surgery, patient was performed scaling and root planning. Afterward, coronally advanced flap in combined with PRF was done on premolar region to cover the exposed root surface.
Results: Clinical observation of three weeks revealed a complete root coverage with an adequate keratinized tissue and good healing.
Conclusion: Coronally advanced flap in combination with platelet-rich fibrin provide an effective treatment in root coverage.
