The Efficacy of A-PRF+ on Postoperative Outcomes Following Surgical Removal of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars (A-PRF+: Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin)
Summary
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effects of A-PRF+ on postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. Method and Materials: A randomized controlled trial with a parallel design was performed on healthy patients with 76 impacted mandibular third molars with similar difficulty level, having needs and indications for extraction. All patients had the same standardized extraction protocol at the Department of Minor Oral Surgery of the National Hospital of Odonto - Stomatology in HCM City. In the study group, patients' blood was collected and centrifugated to produce A-PRF+, then placed in the wisdom tooth sockets after surgery. In the control group, the tooth sockets were curetted and sutured as in standard protocol. Pain value was assessed according to the VAS at 2, 4, and 6-hour time points after patients' lower lips stopped feeling numb, and on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th postoperative day; Swelling was evaluated based on the measurement between facial landmarks; Trismus was assessed based on the distance between incisal edges of upper central incisor and lower incisor during maximum mouth opening on the 3rd and 7th postoperative days. Data obtained were statistically analyzed.
