Treatment for gum recession using a minimally invasive technique

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a tunnel technique combined with a connective tissue graft and injectable platelet-rich fibrin for treating Miller class I/II gingival recession. A total of 30 patients will be enrolled, with 15 receiving the treatment with the injectable platelet-rich fibrin and 15 receiving the standard treatment without it. Clinical parameters will be assessed at baseline and after six months, while post-operative pain will be evaluated after ten days. Additionally, histologic examination of the graft will be conducted to determine the saturation of growth factors.
