: This study aimed to evaluate the role of A-PRF (advanced platelet-rich fibrin) in the enhancement of wound healing and protecting the periodontal health of mandibular second molars after the extraction of mandibular third molars. Additionally, the study assessed the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of mandibular second molars as markers of inflammation. : Twenty-five systemically healthy adult patients with bilateral removal of impacted mandibular third molars were included.

The objective of this study was to compare single-needle arthrocentesis with the conventional two-needle arthrocentesis, as well as the additional intracapsular injection of hyaluronic acid or platelet-rich fibrin. A total of 96 patients with established osteoarthritis (OA) ( = 48) or with internal de-arrangement (DD) ( = 48) were assigned single-needle arthrocentesis with distension of the joint or conventional two-needle arthrocentesis with or without intracapsular injection of the medication (hyaluronic acid (HA) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP)) performed every month over a period of 6 months. The maximum mouth opening and pain, as measured by the visual analog scale (VAS), were compared.

Dental implants are essential for the prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patients, requiring adequate bone volume and density for osseointegration and load support. The posterior region of the maxilla, commonly deficient in bone quality and quantity, represents a clinical challenge. This case series reports an analysis involving 69 dental implants in the atrophic maxilla of nine patients.

Article Synopsis
  • A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the impact of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on the secondary stability of delayed dental implants, as prior research on this topic was insufficient.
  • Twelve trials involving 456 dental implants were analyzed, revealing that while PRF may improve stability at different time points, the certainty of evidence remains low due to varying biases in the studies.
  • The findings suggest that more high-quality randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up periods are necessary to provide clearer guidance for clinicians regarding the use of PRF in delayed dental implant placements.
