| Platelet Rich Fibrin | Biological | for the preparation of PRF, A well-trained professional nurse drew 10ml of patient blood from the antecubital vein and transferred it to a test tube without anticoagulant. The blood sample was immediately centrifuged for 10-12 minutes at 3000 rpm. L-PRF was ready to use after centrifugation. PRF membrane was put over the implant and slightly tucked under the soft tissue periphery, then held in place with a figure-of-8 suture by 0.5 proline suture |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Soft tissue healing | This was done using Landry healing index. It evaluates the parameters of tissue colour, bleeding response to palpation, presence of granulation tissue, characteristics of the incision margins, and the presence of suppuration. The score ranges from 1 (Very poor) to 5 (Excellent). | up to 4 weeks |
| Mid-buccal soft tissue thickness | Measured from the gingival margin to implant platform using a periodontal probe. | up to 8 weeks |
| Mid-crestal soft tissue height | Measured using a periodontal probe passing through soft tissue in the intersection midpoint of both buccolingual and mesiodistal dimensions of the socket till cover screw. | up to 8 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Post-operative pain level | This was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) that rates pain level on a scale of 0-10 (with 0 meaning no pain at all and 100 meaning the worst possible pain). A VAS questionnaire was given to the subjects and they were asked to select their pain score. | 24 hours |
