ClinConnect Summary

Gingival recession is the term used to describe the apical positioning of the marginal gingiva from the cemento-enamel junction. Gingival recession can cause hypersensitivity, pain, root caries, cervical erosion and/or abrasion, tooth loss, increased plaque accumulation as a result of exposure of the root surface to the oral environment, and therefore inflammation. Platelet-rich fibrin has been used routinely for more than 20 years to increase keratinized gingival thickness and close gingival recessions due to the growth factors it contains. In a study examining the effect of injectable pla...
