evaluate the efficacy of PRF on bone density after enucleation of periapical lesions, and to compare the degree of bone density value without the use of PRF postoperatively after 4 months using cone beam CT scan.
32 patients included in this study from October 2017 to October 2018, they undergo periapical surgery for periapical pathosis in the maxillary anterior teeth. After surgical removal of periapical pathosis, the participants divided into two groups, the study group was treated with PRF in the bone defect after surgical removal of the periapical lesion while the control group conducted without PRF. After 4 months, we measured and compared the bone density formed in the defect after surgical removal of the periapical lesion in both groups using CbCT.
The value of the bone density of PRF group collected postoperatively after 4 months was significantly high at superior limit 680.2 ± 137.56, middle limit 452.1 ± 143.14, inferior limit 629.6 ± 82.11 and average density 587.3 ± 94.47 as compare to control group. 470.8 ± 78.99 for the superior limit, 313.2 ± 57.21 for the middle limit, 449.6 ± 84.94 for the interior limit and 411.2 ± 55.50 for the average bone density.
The usage of PRF in the treatment of bone defect post-operative removal of periapical pathosis seems to be an innovative therapeutic method promoting faster bone regeneration within 4 months.
