Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) on the healing of intra-bony defects. This evaluation was accomplished Clinically and radiograp-hically on patients. Subjects and Methods: A total of twenty one intra-bony defects in 14 patients were randomly divided into three groups; group A, treated with minced PRF placed inside the defects and covered with a PRF membrane, group B, treated with minced PRF placed in the defects and covered with a collagen membrane and group C, treated with xenograft placed in the defects and covered with a collagen membrane (control group). Clinical parameters including probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and radiographic parameters including linear radiographic measurements were measured at day of surgery (baseline) then 6 months post-operatively in all groups. Results: Clinical and radiographic results showed statistically significant differences between baseline and post operatively in all the groups. However inter-group comparisons showed no statistically significant differences after 6 months. Conclusion: The use of PRF as a regenerative material in managing periodontal intrabony defects resulted in pocket depth reduction, clinical attachment gain and defect fill with comparable results to bone graft and collagen membrane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
