Online published on 20 March, 2019. Abstract Aims To compare clinically and radiologically the effects of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) over Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) on alveolar bone repair following extraction of impacted third molars Materials and Method This study included split mouths of 25 patients who underwent bilateral extraction of impacted third molars. PRF and PRP were prepared at the same appointment, and was placed in the right and left extracted sockets, respectively. Post operative follow up of the soft tissue healing and hard tissue healing were recorded and was then compared between the two sites of the same patient. Results The mean values of soft tissue healing and the mean values of bone density measured post operatively was better and statistically significant in PRF group as compared to PRP group. Conclusion PRF is clinically and statistically significant in soft tissue healing and also has faster regeneration of bone when compared with PRP.
