However, the palatal donor site heals with secondary intention and requires a longer healing time causing more discomfort and pain to the patient. A healthy 22-year-old female patient presented with Miller's class II recession in relation to the tooth 31 with high frenal attachment and a shallow vestibule, which was treated using FGG, and the donor site was bandaged with advanced-platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF). This report evaluates the healing of the donor site over a 12-month period and assesses the root coverage as well as the postoperative discomfort after the harvesting of graft. In terms of healing, the use of A-PRF membrane as a palatal bandage appears to accelerate healing at the donor site, thereby reducing postoperative complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ccd.ccd_889_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,21]],"date-time":"2022-06-21T11:29:28Z","timestamp":1655810968000},"page":"189-193","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Free Gingival Grafting of Single Tooth Recession with Advanced-Platelet-Rich Fibrin as a Palatal Bandage"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Avita","family":"Rath","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melissa Wong Li","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bennete","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.
