Analysis of wound healing efficacy of platelet rich plasma in mandibular third molar extraction wounds: a comparative double blind Study

Aim: To compare the healing of mandibular third molar extraction wounds with and without Platelet Rich Plasma. Materials and Methods: This was parallel comparative double blind study involving two groups viz group A and B. In study group (group A), Platelet rich plasma was placed in the extraction socket before closure of the socket in 30 patient. Group B consists of 30 patients who will be the control group where the extraction sockets will be closed without any intra socket medicaments. The patients would be allocated to the groups randomly. Results: The result of the study shows rapid bone regeneration in the extraction socket treated with Platelet Rich Plasma when compared with the socket without Platelet Rich Plasma. Conclusion: Incorporation of Platelet Rich Plasma in the extraction sockets has significant improved soft tissue healing and bone regeneration.
