Root coverage procedures have gained much popularity in recent years, due to increasing esthetic demands of patients. Coronally advanced flap (CAF) is a predictable technique for treating gingival recessions. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), an autologous platelet concentrate, has properties to enhance soft-tissue wound healing. A current method in dentistry is the use of human chorion membrane, a placental derivative, having biologic properties that help in healing and regeneration. Thus, the aim of the study was evaluation and comparison of the efficacy of chorion membrane and PRF membrane in the treatment of Miller's Class I and Class II recession defects.
