Abstract
AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on soft tissue healing and bone regeneration following tooth extraction clinically and radio-graphically. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 30 Patients between the age group of 18-40 years requiring extraction of bilateral mandibular molars except third molars were selected to conduct a split-mouth study after ethical approval. Teeth extraction was done on both sides in the same appointment. Autologous PRF was placed into the socket on one side randomly, and the socket on the other side was taken as control side. Parameters evaluated were soft tissue healing and bone regeneration. Soft tissue healing was evaluated on post-extraction day-3, day-7 and day-14 using healing index by Landry et al. Bone regeneration was assessed immediately and 4 months post-extraction by observation of change in radiopacity through digital panoramic-radiograph. Data obtained was statistically analysed and comparison of outcome variables was done using Mann-Whitney U-test, p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Case group had better soft tissue healing when compared to the control group with the p-value of 0.025 at 3rd day 0.039 at 7th day and 0.00 at 14th day. The rise in radiopacity at the end of 16th week for PRF group was higher as compared to control group but did not differ significantly. CONCLUSION: PRF is significantly better in promoting soft tissue healing and also hastens bone formation in extraction socket. PRF may be recommended as a valuable material for encouraging soft tissue healing and bone regeneration.
