Recession coverage using concentrated growth factor membrane: A clinical case report and treatment outcomes

Abstract

Background: Gingival recession is a common periodontal condition that can lead to root sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, and increased risk of root caries. Traditional surgical approaches, such as connective tissue grafts and coronally advanced flaps, have been widely used; however, adjunctive biologic materials like concentrated growth factor (CGF) membranes are gaining attention for enhancing soft tissue healing and regenerative outcomes.

Objective: This case report aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a CGF membrane in conjunction with a coronally advanced flap for treating localized gingival recession.

Methods: A patient presenting with Miller Class I/II gingival recession on the maxillary anterior teeth underwent surgical treatment using a coronally advanced flap combined with a CGF membrane prepared from autologous blood. Clinical parameters, including recession depth, keratinized tissue width, and patient-reported outcomes, were assessed at baseline and at a 6-month follow-up.

Results: Postoperative healing was uneventful, with complete root coverage achieved in the treated site. The use of CGF membrane appeared to enhance tissue thickness and promote faster wound healing. At 6 months, increased keratinized tissue width and improved gingival biotype were observed. The patient reported reduced sensitivity and high aesthetic satisfaction.

Conclusion: The incorporation of a concentrated growth factor membrane with conventional recession coverage techniques may improve soft tissue healing, augment keratinized tissue, and enhance clinical outcomes. While this case report demonstrates promising results, further randomized controlled studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm the efficacy and long-term stability of CGF-assisted recession coverage.
