Does Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin Combined With Autogenous Demineralized Dentine Enhance Alveolar Ridge Preservation? A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The present trial evaluated the first-time application of autogenous demineralized dentin graft with injectable platelet-rich fibrin (ADDG + i-PRF) versus autogenous demineralized dentin graft (ADDG), in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in the maxillary aesthetic zone.

Material and methods

Twenty-two maxillary (n = 22) non-molar teeth indicated for extraction were randomized into two groups (n = 11/group). Extracted teeth were prepared into ADDG, implanted into extraction sockets with or without i-PRF amalgamation and covered by collagen sponge. Cone-beam computed tomography scans at baseline and 6 months were compared to assess ridge-dimensional changes. Keratinized tissue width, patient satisfaction, pain score and chair time were recorded. In the course of dent
