Online published on 8 March, 2019. Abstract Background There has been an increased focus on bioactive materials to regulate and improve healing process after tooth extract in recent years. Therefore, current study was conducted to evaluate the impact of plateletsrich fibrin (PRF) method on improving soft tissue healing and socket complications after tooth extraction. Methods: Forty patients both males and females who attended for dental extraction, were divided into two equal groups; one group of patients received PRF following teeth extraction and the other allowed for physiological healing. Both groups were followed seven days post extraction. Results The results revealed that there was significant decrease of haemostatic time in experimental group as compared to control group. Also, soft tissue healing was significantly better (P<0.01) in experimental group. However, all patients did not reveale any difference in socket infection. In conclusion, PRF was safe, inexpensive and easy to use with efficiency in oral and maxillofacial human surgery. Top Keywords PRF, tooth extract, soft tissue healing, growth factors, fibrin. Top |
