CAF+CTG+PRF
platelet-rich fibrin + coronally advanced flap + connective tissue graft platelet-rich fibrin: autologous platelet-rich fibrin was isolated from venous blood of each patient by defined centrifugation methods connective tissue graft: connective tissue graft was harvested from the palatal region of each patient by single incision method coronally advanced flap: buccal gingival flap was raised by sharp-blunt-sharp dissection and positioned coronally to cover connective tissue graft (and platelet-rich fibrin gel)
CAF+CTG

Measure
CAF+CTG+PRF
n=20 Participants
A computer-generated randomization scheme (simple randomization without any blocking) was used to assign 20 patients into each study groups with an allocation ratio of 1:1 The surgical sites were prepared by using sulcular and adjacent vertical incisions and CTGs were harvested from the palatal regions. Different from CAF+CTG group, PRF was prepared by obtaining 10 ml venous blood, centrifugation and extraction of the gel containing highly concentrated platelet cells in CAF+CTG+PRF patients. Then the gel was placed over the exposed root surface in the same group and the CAF was primarily closed.
