Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Amniotic Membrane   In group 1 a surgical template will be employed to measure the defect size and the amniotic membrane Tissue Bank Tata memorial hospital Mumbai Maharashtra will be trimmed accordingly to fit the surgical area The membrane will be inserted into the subperiosteal tunnel, and along with the membrane and the mucogingival complex will be sutured after appropriate coronal placement 
Intervention  Titanium Platelet Rich Fibrin  In Group 2 9 ml of blood will be drawn from the patient and centrifuged at 2800 rpm for 12 minutes to prepare the T PRF The freshly prepared T PRF membrane will then trimmed and placed within the subperiosteal tunnel. Gentle pressure will be applied for 3 minutes to stabilize the membrane, which will be then followed by suturing.

Brief Summary  

Gingival recession GR  is the apical displacement of the gingival margin  exposing the tooth root and potentially causing sensitivity  aesthetic issues  and root caries. While traditional treatments like connective tissue grafts CTG are effective they involve donor site morbidity. The Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access  VISTA  technique  a minimally invasive method  allows for efficient root coverage with fewer complications.

This study aims to compare the clinical effectiveness of two biomaterials Amniotic Membrane  AM  and Titanium Platelet Rich Fibrin  T PRF used in conjunction with the VISTA technique in treating Millers Class I gingival recession. The comparison focuses on parameters like gingival thickness keratinized tissue width  recession height  and mean root coverage.

A total of 24 sites will be randomly assigned to two groups  12 AM  12 T PRF. Pre  and post operative measurements, including soft tissue CBCT for gingival thickness  will be recorded and analyzed statistically.

The study is designed to determine which biomaterial offers better clinical outcomes and tissue regeneration potential, contributing to more effective, minimally invasive treatment strategies for gingival recession.
