Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Albumin platelet rich fibrin (Alb-PRF)  To obtain the Alb-PRF, blood collection will be performed using 9 ml S-PRF tube without any additive. After collecting, it will be placed in the centrifuge, along with a tube filled with water in order to maintain the balance during centrifuging for 8 minutes at 2700 rpm. Upon termination of this process, it will be possible to observe plasma and the remaining decanted blood material containing blood cells in the tube. Of this, about 2 ml of the initial portion of plasma (platelet poor plasma [PPP]) will be collected using a syringe, while the rest of the blood contents (buffy coat, portions rich in cells and red blood cells) will be preserved at a cool temperature. The syringe containing platelet poor plasma (PPP) will be heated for 10 minutes at a temperature of 70-75 degree Celsius. After the heating is done, the syringe will be kept at room temperature for another 10 minutes to allow cooling. Then, liquid PRF (i-PRF) including the remaining cells and growth factors found within the buffy coat layer will be mixed back together with the cooled albumin gel to form Alb-PRF using female-female luer lock. The final product after mixing will be deposited into a glass container and will gently be mixed with tweezers. After fibrin polymerization process (approximately 5 minutes), the membrane formed will be termed Alb-PRF. This product will ultimately be used as the graft material in recession coverage. 
Intervention  Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access (VISTA)  The VITSA technique will start with a single vertical incision of sufficient length. The incision will be extended to the periosteum and to slightly beyond the mucogingival junction. Considering the extension of the teeth to be treated, a vertical incision is to be made in the most centered section. These incisions will be extended to at least one of the teeth beyond those to be treated and towards the base of the papillae. A full-thickness tunnel will then be prepared with the aid of specific tunnelling instruments, extending it sufficiently beyond the mucogingival line into the alveolar mucosa. This will be done first through a vertical incision and then through gingival margins, which will completely release the tunnel-papillae complex, thus facilitating its passive coronal replacement. The graft material that will be placed in the test group will be Alb- PRF.

Brief Summary   Gingival recession is defined as the apical shift of the gingival margin with respect to the cemento-enamel junction, which leads to the exposure of the root surface. The current gold standard technique is the connective tissue graft with coronally advanced flap. However, it presents with a number of disadvantages, which include the need for harvesting at a distant donor site, scar formation at the recipient site, increased potential for post harvesting morbidity and limited tissue availability. Platelets play a vital role in wound healing and release various growth factors. These parameters led to the development of autologous platelet concentrates such as Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) followed by Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) by Choukroun et al. in 2001. However, its major limitation is its faster resorption (~2 weeks).         In a recent study, a novel Alb-PRF was proposed which demonstrated viable cells which release growth factors over time while simultaneously improving resorption time from around 2 weeks to 4 months. Whole blood was centrifuged at 2700 rpm (~ 700×g) for 8 minutes after which the platelet-poor plasma layer was heated at 75° C for 10 minutes to create denatured albumin (albumin gel). After heating, the syringe was kept at room temperature for another 10 minutes to allow cooling. The remaining cells and growth factor present within the buffy coat layer (liquid PRF) were thereafter mixed back together with the cooled albumin gel with the help of female-female luer lock to form Alb-PRF. 

To our best knowledge, till date no study has been conducted to assess the efficacy of Alb-PRF as a regenerative material for root coverage. Hence, the aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of Alb-PRF as a regenerative material for recession coverage with the help of vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique.
