Abstract:
The surgical removal of lower wisdom teeth produces both postoperative discomfort and treatment healing delays. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate PRF therapy alongside chitosan-based dressing as treatment for 60 bilateral extraction patients. The patients who received PRF therapy experienced less pain (VAS score 3.5 vs 4.2) together with less swelling (70% reduction compared to 50%) and better healing scores (9.2 vs 8.1). The evaluative measurements using VAS and Landry's scale occurred on days 3 and 7 and day 14. The recommended treatment for boosted postoperative recovery reveals PRF as delivering better healing results than others.
