ABSTRACT
Root recession presents a matter of aesthetic concern in every dental practice. Also it may illicit sensitivity and is more prone to caries than the covered root surfaces. Platelet- rich fibrin is a second generation platelet concentrate. It is basically autologous leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin biomaterial. The use of PRF in combination with coronally advanced flap in the treatment of gingival recession has shown promising results and is gaining immense popularity among the dental practitioners. This case reports the use of PRF membrane in root coverage on the labial surface of maxillary canine.
Keywords: Coronally advanced flap, platelet rich fibrin, gingival recession, growth factors.
