“…Most of the available RCTs and controlled studies comparing L‐PRF to unassisted socket healing reported a benefit when L‐PRF was applied in terms of early (up to 8 weeks) (Alzahrani, Murriky & Shafik, ; Hauser, Gaydarov, Badoud, Vazquez & Bernard, ) and late (up to 16 weeks) (Temmerman, Vandessel, Castro, Jacobs & Teughels, ; Varghese, Manuel & Kumar, ) radiographic bone fill and horizontal/vertical alveolar preservation (Appendix S3), faster soft tissue healing, reduced pain and reduced post‐extraction sequelae (Marenzi, Riccitiello, Tia, Lauro & Sammartino, ; Ozgul, Senses, Er, Tekin & Tuz, ; Singh, Kohli & Gupta, ; Suttapreyasri & Leepong, ; Temmerman et al., ; Varghese et al., ; Zhang, Ruan, Shen, Tan & Huang, ). Moreover, the use of L‐PRF in third molars’ extractions has been associated with an improvement in second molars’ periodontal parameters (Kumar, Prasad, Ramanujam, Dexith & Chauhan, ) and a nearly tenfold decrease in the incidence of osteomyelitis compared to natural healing (Hoaglin & Lines, ).…”
