However, CTG procedures are invasive, requiring tissue harvesting from a donor site (often the palate), and are associated with increased surgical morbidity and discomfort for patients.\n\nAdvances in regenerative medicine have introduced minimally invasive alternatives, such as injectable biologically active platelet-rich fibrin (Bio-PRF). Bio-PRF is an autologous platelet concentrate containing a high concentration of growth factors, fibrin matrix, and immunomodulatory cells. The injectable form is designed to be applied directly into tissue-deficient papillary sites, promoting enhanced angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and tissue regeneration with minimal trauma and improved patient comfort.\n\nRecent clinical interest has focused on comparing these two approaches, CTG and injectable Bio-PRF, in their efficacy for papilla regeneration. While both techniques have demonstrated potential benefits, direct comparative studies are limited. Understanding the relative effectiveness, esthetic outcomes, surgical morbidity, and patient-centered results of these interventions is essential for evidence-based clinical decision making.\n\nThis clinical comparison seeks to evaluate and contrast the outcomes of connective tissue grafting and injectable Bio-PRF in the reconstruction of lost or compromised interdental papillae. The study aims to provide valuable insights into the optimal management of papillary defects, guiding periodontal practitioners toward treatments that maximize esthetic and functional results while minimizing patient morbidity.\n\nWe hypothesized that no significant difference between the treatment of interdental papilla with connective tissue graft or Bio-PRF.\n\nAim of the study\n\nPrimary Objective:\n\nTo assess the effectiveness of CTG combined with Bio-PRF in increasing papillary height in patients with papillary loss (Nordland and Tarnow Class I or II).\n\nSecondary Objectives:\n\n* To evaluate changes in patient satisfaction and aesthetic outcomes.\n* To assess soft tissue healing and clinical attachment gain.\n\nMaterials and methods:\n\nStudy Design:\n\n* Type: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial\n* Duration: 6 months follow-up\n* Groups:\n\n  * Group A (control): CTG alone\n  * Group B (study): injectable Bio-PRF\n\nSample Selection:\n\n* Inclusion Criteria:\n\n  * Age 20-55 years\n  * Nordland and Tarnow Class I\u002FII papillary loss\n  * Good oral hygiene (FMPS \\& FMBS \\\u003C20%)\n  * Systemically healthy\n* Exclusion Criteria:\n\n  * Smoking\n  * Periodontal pockets \\>4 mm in target site\n  * History of systemic diseases or medications affecting healing\n  * Pregnant or lactating women\n* Preoperative Phase:\n\n  * Oral hygiene instruction\n  * Phase I periodontal therapy\n  * Initial photography and papillary height measurements using digital calipers or customized stents\n* Surgical Technique:\n\n  * Local anesthesia\n  * Intrasulcular incision around target teeth\n  * Papilla preservation flap\n  * Harvesting CTG from the palate\n  * Injection of liquid Bio-PRF at the papillary base (test group)\n  * CTG positioned in the papilla region\n  * Suturing with microsurgical technique\n* Postoperative Protocol:\n\n  * Analgesics (e.g., ibuprofen 400 mg)\n  * Chlorhexidine 0.12% mouth rinse for 2 weeks\n  * Suture removal at 10-14 days\n  * Follow-up at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months\n\nOutcome Measures:\n\n* Primary Outcome:\n\n  o Papilla Height Gain (measured from contact point to papilla tip)\n* Secondary Outcomes:\n\n  * Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for aesthetic satisfaction\n  * Healing Index\n  * Black triangle area (measured via intraoral photographs or digital scanning)\n\nStatistical Analysis:\n\n* Descriptive statistics for baseline data\n* Paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test (intragroup comparison)\n* Independent t-test or Mann-Whitney U test (intergroup comparison)\n* p-value \\\u003C 0.05 considered statistically significant",[27,33],{"label":28,"type":29,"description":30,"interventionNames":31},"connective tissue graft","PLACEBO_COMPARATOR","Semi-lunar flap elevation, then connective tissue graft sutured under the flap for papilla reconstruction",[32],"Biological: connective tissue graft",{"label":34,"type":35,"description":36,"interventionNames":37},"albumin-PRF","ACTIVE_COMPARATOR","Albumin- PRF for papilla reconstruction",[38],"Biological: Albumin (5% serum-protein solution containing immunoglobulins)",[40,47],{"type":41,"name":42,"description":43,"armGroupLabels":44,"otherNames":45},"BIOLOGICAL","Albumin (5% serum-protein solution containing immunoglobulins)","* Preoperative Phase:\n\n  * Oral hygiene instruction\n  * Phase I periodontal therapy\n  * Initial photography and papillary height measurements using digital calipers or customized stents\n* Surgical Technique:\n\n  * Local anesthesia\n  * Intrasulcular incision around target teeth\n  * Papilla preservation flap\n  * Harvesting CTG from the palate\n  * Injection of liquid Bio-PRF at the papillary base (test group)\n  * CTG positioned in the papilla region\n  * Suturing with microsurgical technique\n* Postoperative Protocol:\n\n  * Analgesics (e.g., ibuprofen 400 mg)\n  * Chlorhexidine 0.12% mouth rinse for 2 weeks\n  * Suture removal at 10-14 days\n  * Follow-up at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months",[34],[46],"alb-prf",{"type":41,"name":28,"description":48,"armGroupLabels":49,"otherNames":13},"Local anesthesia.
