Wound healing and bone regeneration in postextraction sockets with and without platelet-rich fibrin

Abstract

An appreciable wound healing and bone regeneration was seen in the experimental group when compared to the control sites where no PRF was used substantiating the use of PRF as an inexpensive autologous material for socket preservation and future rehabilitation. The present study, also, showed that minimal operator expertise was required to conduct the procedure of PRF preparation and grafting when compared to bone harvesting from distant sites. The shorter duration between extractions and further rehabilitation obviates the need for a second procedure.
