Changes of Soft Tissue Grafting: A Randomized Study (NCT05633511)

Volumetric Changes of Soft Tissue Grafting. Comparison of Autologous PRF (Platelet-rich Fibrin ) & Autogenous CTG (Connective Tissue Grafts) . A Split-mouth Randomized Design

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿฉบ Clinical Procedure Protocol Sponsor: Tufts University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

To correct gum recession, patient's own tissue from the roof of the mouth is harvested and placed where there is root exposed. This is considered gold standard of treatment. Sometimes patient don't want to have second surgical site in their mouth and at the same time do not want to use alternative tissue from human or animal donor. Using patients' blood and preparing it as a membrane is the next best thing to correct gum recession.
