Healing of Extraction Sites after Alveolar Ridge Preservation Using Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin: A Retrospective Study. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:566. [PMID: 38927802 PMCID: PMC11201034 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11060566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Over time, numerous surgical procedures and biomaterials have been proposed for the reconstruction of post-extraction bone defects, each with their advantages and disadvantages. The main objective of this study was to evaluate dimensional changes in the alveolar bone 3 months after tooth extraction, before implant planning, comparing alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) with spontaneous healing. METHODS A total of 84 patients with non-restorable molars were included in the study. Forty-two patients received ARP with advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) and spontaneous healing was evaluated in these patients. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis performed before and after surgical intervention was used to determine the changes in vertical and horizontal bone dimensions produced after tooth extraction. RESULTS CBCT measurements showed reduction in both vertical and horizontal alveolar bone size in both groups. For the study group, the alveolar parameters (height, width) were higher compared to the control group. The percentage variations between dimensional differences from the two groups were 38.58% for height, and for width were 36.88% at 0 mm, 35.56% at 3 mm, 36.61% at 5 mm, and 38.73% at 7 mm. The differences were statistically significant (p ˂ 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS The results obtained after ARP with A-PRF showed a reduced loss of bone volume compared to spontaneous healing.

Kim S, Kim SG. Advancements in alveolar bone grafting and ridge preservation: a narrative review on materials, techniques, and clinical outcomes. Maxillofac Plast Reconstr Surg 2024; 46:14. [PMID: 38625426 PMCID: PMC11021384 DOI: 10.1186/s40902-024-00425-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
This narrative review systematically explores the progression of materials and techniques in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP). We commence by delineating the evolution from traditional ARP methods to cutting-edge alternatives, including platelet-rich fibrin, injectable bone repair materials, and hydrogel systems. Critical examination of various studies reveals these innovative approaches not only accelerate bone healing but also significantly improve patient-reported outcomes, such as satisfaction, pain perception, and overall quality of life. Emphasis is placed on the correlation between advanced ARP techniques and enhanced patient comfort and clinical efficacy, underscoring their transformative potential in dental implantology. Highlighting the effectiveness of ARP, the implant survival rate over a span of 5 to 7 years was high, showcasing the reliability and success of these methods. Further, patients expressed high aesthetic satisfaction with the soft tissue outcome, evidenced by an average visual analog scale (VAS) score of 94. This positive aesthetic appraisal is linked to the clinical health of implants, potentially due to the employment of tooth-supported surgical guides. The economic analysis reveals a varied cost range for bone graft substitutes ($46.2 to $140) and socket sealing materials ($12 to $189), with a noteworthy correlation between the investment in barrier membranes and the diminished horizontal and vertical ridge resorption. This suggests that membrane usage significantly contributes to preserving ridge dimensions, offering a cost-effective strategy for enhancing ARP outcomes. In conclusion, this review illuminates the significant advancements in ARP, highlighting the shift towards innovative materials and techniques that not only promise enhanced bone regeneration and reduced healing times but also improve patient satisfaction and aesthetic outcomes. The documented high implant survival rate and the beneficial economic implications of membrane use further validate the effectiveness of contemporary ARP strategies, paving the way for their broader adoption in dental implantology.

Biological and Cellular Properties of Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) Compared to Other Platelet Concentrates: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:482. [PMID: 38203653 PMCID: PMC10779223 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25010482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Platelet concentrates are used for cell induction and stimulation in tissue repair processes. The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the biological and cellular properties of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) to those of other platelet concentrates. Searches were conducted on the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and LILACS databases using a search strategy oriented by the guiding question. A total of 589 records were retrieved. Seven articles of in vitro experimental studies were selected for qualitative data analysis and four were selected for meta-analysis. The release of growth factors, distribution of cells in the fibrin membrane, and cell viability, the fibrin network, and fibroblast migration were investigated. In the final analysis, statistically significant differences were found for the A-PRF group with regard to platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor, epidermal growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor at all assessment times. A difference was found with regard to bone morphogenetic protein only in the later assessment, and no differences among groups were found with regard to platelet-derived growth factor or insulin-like growth factor. The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that A-PRF has superior cellular properties and better release of growth factors compared to other platelet concentrates.

Abstract
Ulcerative keratitis is a common disease in horses which may cause blindness. To prevent secondary bacterial and fungal infections and promote quick re-growth of the epithelial layer, different treatment approaches have been employed. This study aimed to examine the effects of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) gel on the healing process of experimentally induced corneal ulcers in donkeys. Nine healthy adult donkeys were used for the study. The donkeys were divided into two groups: the control group, where no medication was applied to the corneal ulcer, and the A-PRF gel group, where A-PRF gel was applied once a day on specific days after ulcer induction. The healing process was evaluated through various examinations and analyses. The results demonstrated that the A-PRF gel group showed significant improvement in the corneal ulcer area, with epithelial and stromal regeneration. At day 35, about 60% of the A-PRF group showed negative fluorescein uptake. Additionally, fewer complications were observed during the healing process compared to the control group. In conclusion, A-PRF gel is an important and safe therapeutic option for controlling ocular surface infection and promoting corneal healing. We recommend using A-PRF gel as an alternative approach, avoiding eyelid suturing, and minimizing corneal irritation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is commonly used for ridge preservation following tooth extraction. However, its effectiveness diminishes over a period of two weeks as it is resorbed and loses its biological activities. Therefore, this clinical study aims to evaluate the effect of recurrent application of concentrated PRF (C-PRF) inside the extraction socket on the hard and soft tissue alterations.
Methods
Twenty patients requiring single tooth extraction and replacement with a dental implant were randomized into one of two ridge preservation approaches: Advanced PRF plus alone (Control group) or advanced PRF plus with the recurrent application of a C-PRF inside the socket every two weeks for 2 months (four times). The ridge width, the ridge height, and the soft tissue thickness were assessed clinically at the baseline and reassessed after 3 months from tooth extraction during implant surgery. Then the amount of hard tissue loss and soft tissue alterations were calculated.
Results
There was a statistically significant difference in the amount of hard tissue loss between groups in the third month. The amount of horizontal ridge loss for the control and test groups were 2.9 ± 0.7 mm and 1.9 ± 0.5 mm, respectively (p-value < 0.05). The vertical bone loss for control and test groups were 1.8 ± 0.5 mm and 1.0 ± 0.3 mm, respectively (p-value < 0.05). Additionally, for the soft tissue thickness, there was no statistical difference between the groups (p-value > 0.05).
Conclusion
Within the limitations of this study, the recurrent application of C-PRF in the extraction socket could decrease the amount of ridge alteration following tooth extraction and may play a role in the bone regeneration procedures.
