Evaluation of efficacy of L-PRF with and without hyaluronic acid on pain, soft tissue healing and swelling post surgical transalveolar extraction of mandibular molars: A comparative study
Author(s): Tanvi Tiwarekar*
Tooth extraction, a common dental procedure addressing decay, fractures, periodontal disease, infections, and orthodontic needs, initiates a natural healing process in the post-extraction socket involving bone cell migration and selective bone resorption and apposition. However, this process often leads to dimensional loss in the alveolar ridge, complicating tooth replacement, especially in implant therapy. Preventive measures like socket preservation with grafts and immediate or early implant placements are employed to mitigate post-extraction bone loss. Socket preservation aims to minimize dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge, while immediate implant placements, though advantageous, can sometimes cause buccal bone defects, necessitating grafts with lower success rates. LeukocytePlatelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF), a significant advancement in regenerative medicine, is derived from th.. Read More»
