Background: This clinical study investigates platelet-rich fibrin's (PRF) impact on dental implant stability, addressing global oral health challenges and limitations of traditional methods. Emphasizing osseointegration's pivotal role, the study explores PRF's potential in enhancing implant stability, assessing it through resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and implant stability quotient (ISQ). The hypothesis suggests PRF may improve both primary and secondary stability, aiming to uncover clinical benefits in dental implant procedures Materials and methods: The study involved 24 subjects from the Department of Periodontics outpatient clinics with a meticulously designed methodology.

A lateral pedicle flap is used to cover denuded roots that have adequate donor tissue laterally and adequate vestibular depth. A carefully planned surgery needs proper immobilization of the flap at the recipient site and this can be achieved by proper wound closure technique with appropriate material such as sutures or tissue adhesives.
