Filter by:The effect of leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) for enhancing the healing after dental extractions is still a matter of debate. The available literature suggests that L-PRF performs positive effect to improve alveolar preservation resulting in less bone resorption on extraction sockets. L-PRF is a second generation of platelet concentrate produced without biochemical blood manipulation. L-PRF is composed by three key parameters: first, the presence of platelets; second, the presence of leucocytes; third, the density and complex organization of the fibrin matrix architecture produced by a natural polymerization process. The theory is that this key parameters acts to produce a faster bone healing.
A randomized controlled trial of 12-month duration to compare gingival margin location, buccal horizontal ridge dimensions, and interproximal crestal bone levels following two surgical approaches for immediate placement of implants in the esthetic zone: one involving flap elevation and another using a flapless protocol.
