Evaluation of soft and hard tissue responses to dental implants placed with and without platelet-rich fibrin

TL;DR

This study shows that using Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) during dental implant procedures improves healing of gums and bone, leading to better implant success.

Contribution

The study demonstrates PRF's effectiveness as an adjunct in dental implant procedures for enhancing tissue healing.

Findings

PRF improves the health of the gingiva and preserves bone levels.

PRF increases implant survival rates and enhances clinical outcomes.

Abstract

The challenge of enhancing soft and hard tissue healing during dental implant procedures, particularly in terms of preventing implant
failure and improving tissue regeneration, which is explored through the use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF). The study population consisted
of 60 randomly selected participants receiving either treatment with PRF or without PRF. The clinical and radiographic data were compiled
at Baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months post-operative period respectively. Results show PRF positively impacts on the health of the gingiva
preserve bone levels and improve survival rates of the implant. Thus, we show the understanding of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) as an
adjunct in dental implant procedures, highlighting its positive impact on both soft and hard tissue healing, which may improve clinical
outcomes, including gingival health, bone preservation and implant success rates.
