Study aim
-
Evaluation of the effect of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) with sub- epithelial connective tissue graft via semilunar technique in dark triangle treatment
-
Design
-
Clinical trials with a control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized. Surgical areas are randomly divided into two groups by coin throwing method.
