Summary

Free gingival grafts are important to increase zone of attached gingiva and root coverage. This case series reveals role of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as adjunctive therapy in palatal wound healing. The superior healing observed at the PRF membrane sites supports its use in accelerating soft-tissue healing. PRF membrane as a palatal bandage is an efficacious approach to protect the raw wound area of a palatal donor site to reduce healing time and patient discomfort.

Conditions

  • Platelets Rich Fibrin, Palatal Donor Tissue

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Platelets Rich Fibrin in healing of palatal donor tissue

Platelets Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a second generation of platelets concentrate full of growth factors as PDGF, IGF, TGF which had a role in hemostasis fasten the healing and decrease the pain.

OTHER

Placebo

the other group is a control group, had no biologic in the palatal wound, only palatal stent
