Concentrated Platelet Rich Fibrin (C-PRF) as Adjunct to Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy

Concentrated Platelet Rich Fibrin (C-PRF) as Adjunct to Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy- a Split Mouth Randomized Clinical Trail

The current study is a prospective randomised split mouth study to evaluate the effect of concentrated Platelet Rich Fibrin as an adjunct to the scaling and root planing

Twelve 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, procedure involved, potential benefits and risks associated with procedure and written informed consent were obtained from all patients.

All the patients underwent scaling and root planing. As it is split mouth study design the test site is treated with Concentrated platelet rich fibrin( C-PRF) and the contralateral site is not treated with C-PRF. Periodotal pack was placed and patient was recalled after 6 weeks for the follow up.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patient age ranging from 18-45 years
2. Contralateral sites with probing depth 5mm-7mm associated with premolar and molar teeth with no furcation involvement
3. No systemic disease
4. Not under any medication which effect the outcome of periodontal therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of any periodontal therapy within past 6 months
2. Pregnant and lactating mothers
3. Smokers smoking >10 cigarettes per day
4. Patients with blood disorders or platelet count less than 50000 cells/ µL
5. Patients with known systemic disease
6. Non-compliant patients
