PRF is significantly better in promoting soft tissue healing and also faster regeneration of bone after third molar extraction, in comparison with PRP. This could be attributed to simpler preparation protocols of PRF over PRP and the ability of PRF to release growth factors in a controlled way.

Streptococcus species are still the commonest pathogen in orofacial infections of odontogenic origin. Administration of amoxicillin clavulanic acid combination and metronidazole followed by surgical drainage of abscess and extraction of infected teeth, yielded satisfactory resolution of infection.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia or Masson's tumor is a rare reactive disease of vascular origin characterized by exuberant proliferation of endothelial cells notably occurring within blood vessels of head, neck, and extremities. The importance of this entity is its ability to mimic a variety of diseases both benign and malignant in the orofacial region. Here, we present a case of Masson's tumor within the masseter muscle in a 40-year-old female with emphasis on the sequential investigative procedures performed to diagnose this entity.
