Does platelet-rich fibrin enhance the outcomes of peri-implant soft tissues? A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Improving soft tissue quality and quantity around dental implants is crucial for successful outcomes. Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is showing promise in enhancing wound healing and implant stability. This systematic review aims to evaluate the clinical benefits of PRF in soft tissue regeneration around dental implants compared to standard methods.

Methods

This systematic review adhered to the PRISMA guidelines and utilizing the PICO methodology, investigated the use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) in soft tissue augmentation during implant therapy. The primary outcomes assessed include the width of keratinized mucosa and soft tissue thickness, comparing PRF interventions to standard techniques.The study included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and comparative stud
