Aim: Periodontal regenerative procedures like root coverage procedures are still a valid treatment option for exposed root surfaces caused by gingival recession. So far, many alloplastic as well as autologous materials were used for regeneration; of which platelet was found to be having greater regenerative potentiality and several platelet aggregates were developed recently in the field of regeneration. The concentrated growth factor (CGF) is the new generation platelet aggregate; this CGF may be a valuable aid in the field of regeneration to speed up the process of healing. Case Report: This case report elaborates the use of CGF as a barrier membrane, along with laterally displaced procedure to accelerate soft tissue healing, in lower anterior tooth (31) with class II gingival recession in a 20 years old female patient. Discussion: Many studies about concentrated growth factor showed a great regenerative properties and versatility. Its use has been proposed in various procedures like filling the extraction socket, sinus lift procedures, moreover it can also be combined with bone grafts to accelerate bone formation. Conclusion: The result of this case report suggested that the CGF barrier membrane has the potential to accelerate the soft tissue healing which when combined with the root coverage procedures like sliding flap technique, thus results in achieving the expected gain in the width of the attached gingival in class II Gingival recession defects.
