Background: To maintain gingival health and oral hygiene, augmentation of attached gingiva is performed on routine basis. Aim: To enhance attached gingiva and vestibular deepening with a technique using platelet rich fibrin (PRF). Method: PRF prepared using 10ml of blood from antecubital site was placed over the prepared recipient site and stabilised with suture. Result: A gain of 3mm in keratinised gingiva was achieved using vestibular extension with PRF technique. Conclusion: PRF for augmentation of keratinized gingiva promises to be less technique sensitive with good healing and patient compliance.
