Abstract :
Partially impacted third molars exposed to the
oral environment pose a heightened risk of periodontal
infection and attachment loss. Despite careful surgical
techniques and perioperative care, complications such as
edema, pain, and trismus remain challenging to eliminate
completely. To address these concerns, Platelet-Rich
Fibrin (PRF), a novel autologous platelet concentrate,
offers promise. PRF contains high concentrations of
immune cells and growth factors within a slowly
polymerizing fibrin matrix. This study investigates PRF's
effects on postoperative healing, pain, swelling, and bone
density in symmetrically impacted mandibular third
molar. Sparse evidence calls for a comprehensive
evaluation of PRF's potential benefits in enhancing
postoperative sequelae.
