Abstract

Aim - This study is an attempt to evaluate the effect of i-PRF on thin gingival biotype. Methodology – For this study, systemically healthy patients were enrolled. 13 sites with thin periodontal phenotypes were selected and injected with i-PRF at baseline, 1 week and 2 week using microneedle. Clinical periodontal measurements, including GT and KTW were assessed at baseline, one month and three months after the final injections. Results- At baseline mean GT and KTW were 0.65 and 3.76 respectively. At one month and three months follow up, there was statistically significant difference seen in GT and KTW. Mean GT increased to 0.96mm and 1.0 mm at 1month and 3months respectively. Conclusion - The results suggest that application of i-PRF can be non-surgical approach for increasing gingival thickness.
