Influence of Platelet-Rich Fibrin on Post-extraction Alveolar Ridge Healing/Preservation as a Stand-alone or Adjunct to Particulate Graft
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Extraction Socket Healing, Alveolar Ridge Preservation
In brief
The goal of this project is to evaluate the influence of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) in extraction socket healing with or without particulate bone graft. The hypothesis of this study is that PRF will enhance the extraction socket healing and new bone formation when compared to extraction sockets grafted without PRF.
