Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) on the pain and soft tissue healing after tooth extractions. Twenty-six patients (9 males and 17 females) were treated with multiple extractions (2 to 8), with a total of 108 extractions. This was an exploratory single blinded randomized…
Negli ultimi dieci anni il carico immediato e precoce in implantologia si + dimostrato efficace nella semplificazione delle riabilitazioni implantoprotesiche e nell’ aumentare la soddisfazione dei pazienti trattati. La letteratura internazionale conferma diffusamente che percentuali di sopravvivenza implantare ottenute con il carico immediato e precoce sono pressocè sovrapponibili a quelle degli impianti con carico convenzionale…
Platelet derivatives are commonly used in wound healing and tissue regeneration. Different procedures of platelet preparation may differentially affect growth factor release and cell growth. Preparation of platelet-rich ibrin (PRF) is accompanied by release of growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor b1 (TGFb1), and several cytokines. When compared with…
Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) is a biomaterial commonly used in periodontology and implant dentistry to improve healing and tissue regeneration, particularly as filling material in alveolar sockets to regenerate bone for optimal dental implant placement. The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of L-PRF as a safe filling and hemostatic material…
The most common causes of tooth avulsion are sports accidents such as falls or cranial trauma. The mandatory use of mouthguards, however, has prevented approximately 200,000 oral injuries per year in football alone in the USA [Powers et al., 1984]. Without mouthguard, a person is 60 times more likely to experience dental trauma if he…
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.…
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…
The extraction of mesioangular impacted third molars may cause multiple periodontal defects at the distal root of the second molar. These complications are even more frequent in older patients and when there are preoperative periodontal defects on the distal surface of the second molar before extraction of the impacted third molar. Mesioversion is among the…
