Abstract:
The impact of platelet-rich fibrin as a topical application on osseointegration in dental implants is of interest. Hence, a medical questionnaire was used to gather information during the initial interview, including details about past and current medical conditions, temporary and chronic medications, smoking habits and any special dietary restrictions. To assess primary stability, RFA values were recorded on the day of implant placement using the Ostell instrument. A highly significant difference was observed between RFA1 and RFA2 in the buccolingual direction (p ≤ 0.05). The topical application of PRF on implants led to a significant improvement in osseointegration around dental implants compared to conventionally placed implants.
