Comparative Assessment of the Oral Implant Stability with/without Platelet-rich Fibrin: An Study.

BACKGROUND

The current investigation aimed to assess oral implant stability with/without platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) using resonance frequency analysis (RFA).

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A total of 40 patients, aged 25-55 years, were chosen and their eligibility was examined. There were two groups with 20 patients in each group, Group A: Implant with PRF placement and group B: Implant without PRF placement. Thirty minutes before surgery, the test group's PRF preparation started. After blood collection, for 10 minutes, the tube was centrifuged at 400 at 3,000 revolutions per minute. The PRF was separated and placed in the surgical site for the test group. The implant shoulder up to the interproximal alveolar bone crest served as the reference point. The distance between the implant shoulder and the first visible bone-implant contact was measured using radiography in millimeters to assess the mean marginal bone level changes. All data was collected at baseline, three months, and six months. The stability of the implant was evaluated using RFA. Data was collected and statistically analyzed.

RESULTS

In an implant with PRF group mean marginal bone level was 12.88 ± 0.28 at baseline, reduced to 9.42 ± 0.12 at 3 months and 8.74 ± 0.06 at the sixth month. In an implant without PRF group mean marginal bone level was 13.02 ± 0.09 at baseline, reduced to 10.96 ± 0.18 at 3 months and 9.44 ± 0.04 at the sixth month. A statistical difference was found within both groups. The mean difference in implant stability was 88.6 ± 1.58 in the implant with PRF group and 72.8 ± 1.20 in the implant without PRF at the end of the sixth month. A statistically significant difference between the groups was noticed.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the current study showed that the use of PRF during implant surgery improved implant stability compared to the group without PRF.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Clinicians and academics have shifted their focus to making treatment quicker and more comfortable for patients due to the rising success rates of dental implants. A natural concentration of autologous growth factors may be obtained by the preparation of PRF, a straightforward, inexpensive, and minimally invasive technique that is often utilized in several medical specialties to speed up the healing of both soft and hard tissues.
