The entire patients were selected from the out patient clinic of the Oral Medicine, Oral Diagnosis, and Periodontology Department. Faculty of Dentistry, Minya University.<br>Forty patients with gingival recession class II were divided randomly into two groups:<br>Group I: (20 defect) using VISTA technique with Non- pedicled buccal fat pad (NPBFP), Group II: (20 defect) using VISTA technique with platelet rich fibrin (PRF).<br>Results: In both groups all clinical parameters were statistically significant from pre-operative period till 6 months follow up period. In the comparison between the two groups after 6 months follow up period, there were no statistically significant difference between two groups regarding all clinical parameters except percentage of root coverage; there was significant increase in percentage of root coverage after 3 and 6 months follow up period in group II with p value was less than 0.05.<br>Conclusion: Both PRF membrane and NPBFP are effective in the management of Class II gingival recession defects using VISTA technique. PRF group has better results regarding percentage of root coverage than NPBPF group after 3 and 6 months follow up.</p> ER -
