Summary

Gingival recession is the term used to describe the apical positioning of the marginal gingiva from the enamel-cementum junction. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been routinely used for more than 20 years to increase keratinized gingival thickness and to close gingival recessions due to the growth factors it contains. In the literature, there are studies evaluating the application of i-PRF with the microneedling technique, but there is no study evaluating the creeping attachment phenomenon and the closure percentage of gingival recession with the creeping attachment after the application of this technique. The aim of this study is to evaluate the closure rates of gingival recession and creeping attachment phenomenon after i-PRF application with microneedling technique. Systemically healthy and non-smoker patients older than 18 years of age with gingival recession in mandibular anterior teeth and keratinized gingival deficiency will be included. Before the procedure, the venous blood taken from the patient will be centrifuged at 700 RPM for 3 minutes in glass and non-addition tubes to obtain i-PRF. The prepared i-PRF will be infected to the apical mucogingival junction of the keratinized gingival area. This process will be repeated once a month for 3 months. After the 3rd month, the horizontal and vertical gingival recession values will be evaluated and recorded at the end of 6 months and 1 year.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

i-PRF application procedure

Local anesthesia will be applied to the area with gingival recession. Before the procedure, the venous blood taken from the patient will be centrifuged at 700 RPM for 3 minutes in glass and non-addition tubes to obtain i-PRF. i-TZF will be taken into a 2 cc injector. In 2020, Özsağır et al. Decortication, that is, microneedling, will be performed with insulin needle tips according to the protocol defined by Dr. Then the prepared i-PRF will be infected to the apical mucogingival junction of the keratinized gingival area. This process will be repeated once a month for 3 months. After the 3rd month, the horizontal and vertical gingival recession values will be evaluated and recorded at the end of 6 months and 1 year.
