Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections on Periodontal Health During Accelerated Orthodontic Tooth Movement
PRP injections did not demonstrate significant advantages over conventional orthodontic treatment in terms of periodontal health or AST enzyme levels. This suggests that PRP is a safe and non-inferior method for accelerating OTM without adversely affecting periodontal tissues. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-ups is recommended to validate these findings and explore the long-term effects of PRP.
