Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Coronally advanced flap with autologous heat compressed- platelet rich fibrin membrane   The Zucchelli and De Sanctis 2007 coronally advanced flap procedure is used to treat isolated gingival recession. Heat compressed PRF membrane is prepared with the protocol given by Kawase, et al To obtain the Heat compressed-PRF membrane, blood collection is performed using 10ml vacutainer tubes without any additive by venipuncture of antecubital vein at the time of surgery. After collection, it is centrifuged at 2700 rpm for 12 minutes. Half PRF part is taken, placed and compressed between sterile glass slides and slides are heated by dry heat at 65 degree celcius for 2 to 15 sec. Heat compressed PRF membrane is formed and bring to a thickness of approximately 0.2 mm. This heat compressed membrane will be coated with remaining PRF membrane and placed covering the defect 
Intervention  Coronally Advanced Flap with Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft  The Zucchelli and De Sanctis 2007 coronally advanced flap procedure is used to treat isolated gingival recession. Recession depth is first measured to plan incisions. After giving local anesthesia, an intrasulcular incision is made with a 12 or 15c blade. Two small horizontal incisions are placed slightly above the papilla tip, based on the recession depth plus one millimeter. Two vertical beveled incisions are made into the mucosa without touching the bone or periosteum to prevent scarring. A split full split flap is then raised. The flap is placed one to two millimeters above the CEJ and sutured in place. A connective tissue graft is taken from the palate using the trap door method, avoiding important nerves and blood vessels. A horizontal cut is made two millimeters from the gum line, along with two vertical cuts to access the graft. The flap is raised in a split thickness way, and the graft is trimmed after removing unwanted tissue. The donor site is closed with sling sutures using nonresorbable silk. The graft is placed one millimeter below the CEJ, covering the defect and the space between teeth, and secured with absorbable sutures. Finally, the buccal flap is advanced to cover the graft and sutured in place over the interdental area.

Brief Summary  

This randomized controlled clinical study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two guided tissue regeneration techniques in treating localized marginal gingival recession . A total of 32 subjects will be enrolled and randomly assigned into two equal groups

Active Comparator Group will be Treated with a coronally advanced flap in combination with autologous heat-compressed platelet-rich fibrin  membrane

Control Group will be Treated with a coronally advanced flap  along with a subepithelial connective tissue graft , which is the gold standard.

The goal is to assess clinical outcomes such as root coverage, tissue thickness, and esthetic integration, determining whether heat compressed platelet-rich fibrin  membrane can serve as a viable alternative to subepithelial connective tissue graft in the management of localized marginal tissue recession defects.

Additionally , biomarkers like Angiogenin and Human Cementum Protein will evaluate vascularization and healing.
