Aim: This review sought to perform a critical analysis of the literature regarding the use of the graft procedure of connective tissue and Platelet-rich fibrin to cover the exposed root, emphasizing the benefits and predictability of success of each.
Methods: This study performed a search on the PubMed, SciELO, and BIREME databases, and included relevant studies related to the topic for the synthesis of this work.
Results: Five articles were selected to be included in this critical review, three randomized controlled clinical trials, one clinical trial, and one case report.
Conclusion: The root covering using a subepithelial connective tissue graft and platelet-rich fibrin presents satisfactory results, restoring esthetics and health, and regenerating the gingival and periodontal tissues. Regarding platelet-rich fibrin, there are few cases in the literature regarding long-term clinical outcomes.
