Results: Fouteen articles were analysed thoroughly which revealed statistically significant increase in percentage root coverage when PRF was used. It also resulted in improvements of CAL,KTW,GTT . Conclusions: BeingautologousPRF was more comfortable, cost-effective for the patient. Rate of healing was also enhanced.FromthissystematicreviewitcanbeconcludedthatPRFisanexcellent material for treatment of recession defects.
