Article Synopsis
- Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is made from a patient's own blood and is used in dental procedures to enhance bone healing and stability when mixed with bone grafts.
- A study at the University Hospital Innsbruck analyzed the effectiveness of PRF in preventing vertical bone loss after dental implants, involving 362 implants in 170 patients between 2018 and 2021.
- Results showed that PRF use was linked to reduced vertical bone loss (> 1 mm) but did not significantly affect the number of lost implants or type of augmentation, indicating it could improve graft stability in oral implant procedures.
Objectives: Simplifying interdental space cleaning is a constantly discussed topic. The present study aimed to compare the cleansing efficacy of an oral irrigator with that of dental flossing in adolescent patients with fixed braces after four weeks of home-use.
Materials And Methods: The study design is a randomized, single-blinded cross-over study.
