Marginal tissue recession leads to exposure of root surfaces of teeth resulting in root sensitivity, caries, or an unsightly appearance. Its management is carried out both by eliminating contributing factors as well as using surgical techniques. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a seond-generation platelet concentrate first described by Choukroun et al. in 2001. This case report is of a Millers Class II recession in 41 regions managed using PRF with a double pedicle flap.
