Root Coverage of Multiple Gingival Recessions using Leukocyte- and Platelet-rich Fibrin Associated with Coronally Advanced Flap

Periodontal plastic surgery is constantly seeking alternatives that can replace the use of connective tissue grafts, due to the need for a second surgical area and the possibility of reducing the morbidity of the procedure and providing better comfort to the patient. The use of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in the treatment of gingival recessions (GRs) has been studied and its potential has been observed. We report a clinical case of a 49-year-old female patient, a non-smoker, with hypothyroidism and multiple gingival recessions (GRs) in the anterior teeth classified as Miller Class I or Cairo Type 1 (RT1-), which are not associated with a non-carious cervical lesion. The patient presented with aesthetic discomfort and dentin hypersensitivity. Root coverage of the recessions was performed with L-PRF membranes associated with a coronally advanced flap. After 8 months of follow-up, we observed complete coverage of the exposed roots, thickness keratinized gingiva gain, and patient satisfaction with gingival esthetics and dentin hypersensitivity.
