The effect of platelet releasate in conjunction with collagen membrane in the treatment of recession defects

الملخص EN

The study was conducted to evaluate the predictability of using Platelet rich plasma (PRP) in combination with collagen membrane to achieve root coverage in class I and II marginal tissue recession.

Furthermore, any added benefit in applying PRP to the collagen membrane when compared to the use of the collagen membrane alone was investigated.

Twenty class I millers recession defects were treated using collagen membrane with coronally advanced flap in ten recession defects while the other ten defects using collagen membrane with coronally advanced flap in addition to Platelet rich plasma (PRP).

Clinical measurements were measured at baseline and at 6 and 12 months follow up.

Wound healing index (WHI) is evaluated at 2 weeks follow up, statistical analysis was performed.

Results revealed that both treatment modalities used in the present study are considered as two successful modalities in the treatment of recession defects.

The addition of PRP with GTR in root coverage Procedures in Millers Class I provide no clinically measurable enhancement of the final therapeutic outcome of the root coverage procedures.

Only concerning early soft tissue wound healing, PRP has shown a significant influence, than the control group.
