Collagen matrices have been used as connective tissue graft (CTG) substitutes. However, they do not the same efficacy compared to CTG. Adding biological agents may increase collagen matrices' efficacy. The present case reports use of a biofunctionalized volume-stable matrix (VCMX) with injectable platelet-rich fibrin (iPRF) associated coronally advanced flap (CAF) treat single gingival recession (GR) defect.A Recession Type 1 (RT1 A-) defect at maxillary left canine in male patient was treated using VCMX iPRF CAF. No swelling or edema observed during first 14 days after surgery. Complete root coverage (RecRed 4.0 mm) 6 months. Gingival thickness (GT) increased (1.0 by end follow-up.The report shows that CAF VCMX+iPRF presents good clinical outcomes for GR defect.Why is this new information? This one our knowledge describe biofunctionalization recession. What are keys successful management case? Proper material handling. protocol execution. primary limitations success Need venipuncture. Correct preparation VCMX+iPRF. Patient compliance.
