Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or connective tissue graft (CTG) in papilla reconstruction (PR) with semilunar incision (SI) technique. Materials and Methods: A total of 55 sites (27 CTG and 28 PRF) from 20 patients who underwent PR with either PRF or CTG placed with SI in the maxillary anterior region were included in the study. Baseline (BL) and follow-up (T1( first month), T3 (third month), T6 (sixth month)) clinical data including periodontal evaluations (gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), papillary bleeding index, pocket depth (PD), keratinized tissue width (KTW), gingival recession), papilla-associated recordings (alveolar crest-interdental contact point (AC-IC), alveolar crest-papilla tip (AC-PT), papilla tip-interdental contact point (PT-IC), papilla height loss (PHL), interdental tissue stroke (ITS) and papilla presence index (PPI)) and patient satisfaction were analyzed.
