Clinical and imaging evaluation of platelet-rich fibrin in post-exodontic bone regeneration. A systematic review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction. Tooth extraction due to pulpal, periapical, and periodontal disease is one of the most common procedures in dentistry, with unpredictable scarring and volume loss leading to long-term atrophy of the alveolar bone crest. Using clinical and imaging evaluation of recent Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial (RCT) research publications, the Objective was to analyze the application of platelet-rich fibrin in the bone regeneration of post-extraction dental alveoli. Methodology, according to the protocol (PRISMA 2020), this study is a qualitative, cross-sectional, and descriptive documentary. Electronic databases such as PubMed, Scielo, Google Scholar, Embase, and Redalyc were used in this systematic review. The risk of bias was assessed according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions 6.2 (RevMan 6.2), with inclusion and exclusion criteria, including 25 randomized clinical trials published until 2022, which have investigated the use of PRF in bone and soft tissue regeneration in extraction sites. Results of this systematic review in accordance with the heterogeneous findings of clinical research, Conclusions PRF is useful to preserve the post-extraction alveolar ridge, vertical dimensional stability and promote cell proliferation which prevents the decrease of the buccal, lingual or palatal alveolar bone crest, it is worth mentioning that others have not found significant differences due to variations in design or methodology, so additional prolonged standardized research is required. General Area of Study: Dentistry Specific area of study: oral surgery Type of study: Systematic bibliographic review.
