Platelet-Rich Plasma and Resorbable Membrane for Prevention of Periodontal Defects After Deeply Impacted Lower Third Molar Extraction

Pubblicazioni

Purpose: The extraction of deeply included third molars may cause multiple periodontal defects at the distal root of the second molar. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a material containing autologous growth factors, which may be used in repairing and preventing periodontal complications at the distal root of the second molar adjacent to the extracted third molar.…

Prevention of Mandibular Third Molar Extraction-Associated Periodontal Defects: A Comparative Study

Pubblicazioni

Extraction of deep-impacted mandibular third molars may lead to periodontal defects at the distal surface of the adjacent second molar. The purpose of this study was to compare the ability of three regenerative approaches to prevent third molar extraction-related periodontal defects. Methods: Forty-five patients with bilateral osseous or soft tissue–impacted lower third molars were selected…
