Abstract :Objectives: The goal of the study is to evaluate the results of Titanium-Platelet rich fibrin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(T-PRF); membrane and Connective Tissue Graft insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CTG); with modified coronally advanced tunnel technique insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MCATT); in treatment of deep gingival recession defects. Methods: Twenty-one systemically healthy patients displaying 62 Miller Class I/II gingival recession defects ≥ 3.0 mm in depth were treated with MCATT with CTG or T-PRF membrane were included in this retrospective study. The periodontal parameters were assessed at baseline, 6 and 36 months after surgery. The percentages of the mean root coverage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MRC); and complete root coverage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CRC); were calculated. Results: The baseline probing depth values were reduced at 36 months according to baseline for both groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. The keratinized tissue insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(KT); was increased at 6 months according to baseline for both groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(from 1.69±0.74mm to 3.61±0.67 mm for T-PRF; and 3.40±1.60 mm to 4.52±2.33 for CTG);. The 36th month measurement of KT showed an increase in the T-PRF group compared to 6 months, while the CTG group showed a significant decrease insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.86±0.76 mm and 2.76±1.45 mm, respectively);. The CRC ratios were 80% and 56% at 6 and 36 months, respectively for CTG group. However, this ratio remained same insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(64.86%); for T-PRF group. There was statistically significant difference between CRC ratio of two groups at 36 months insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Conclusion: T-PRF membrane with MCATT procedure is as predictable as a CTG with MCATT for management of deep gingival recessions. However, future prospective studies about this topic with a split-mouth design are needed.
