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.
