Evaluation of Immediately Placed Dental Implants With Local Application of Injectable-Platelet Rich Fibrin in Periodontally Compromised Sites. A Randomized Controlled Split Mouth Study
Evaluation of Immediately Placed Dental Implants With Local Application of Injectable-Platelet Rich Fibrin in Periodontally Compromised Sites. A Randomized Controlled Split Mouth Study
The present study is a human, prospective, parallel, randomised controlled clinical trial conducted to explore the efficacy of injectable PRF around dental implants. The trial is in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) criteria, 2010.
Ten healthy individuals satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited for the study. A detailed, thorough medical and dental history was obtained and each patient was subjected to comprehensive clinical and radiological examination. All patients were informed about the nature of the study, the surgical procedure involved, potential benefits and risks associated with the surgical procedure and written informed consent were obtained from all patients.
All the patients were treated with immediate implants. The injectable -PRF was coated on implants as well as injected in the socket in both the maxillary and mandibular anterior region. The clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded at baseline, three months and six months postoperatively.
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Cooperative patients willing to participate in the study 2. At least two maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth indicated for extraction due to chronic periodontitis (chronic or aggressive) 3. Patients above 18 years of age 4. Patients with esthetic concerns 5. Patients with good oral hygiene maintenance 6. Adequate bone height apical to alveolus of the failing teeth (more than or equal to 5mm) to accommodate an implant
