An in vivo assessment of implant stability coated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) using a resonance frequency analyser

Permanent teeth that are lost are frequently replaced by dental implants. The success of an implant is influenced by its stability. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the primary and final stability of PRF-coated implants using a resonance frequency analyser. The study comprised twenty-four healthy patients of both sexes with at least one missing tooth. They were arbitrarily allocated to two groups, each consisting of 12 samples: Group I (Control) was not given platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and Group II (study group) was given PRF. Blood was drawn from the subjects to create the platelet-rich fibrin. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) was used to record the primary and secondary implant stability quotient values for a total of 24 implants, 12 of which were coated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) (test group) and 12 of which were not (control group). A statistical analysis was performed on the collected data. There were 20 patients who were male and only 4 out of 3 instances were female. Overall primary implant stability was found to be statistically not significant when comparing with and without PRF (p = 0.1268). Conversely, a statistically considerable variation (p = 0.001) was found when comparing overall secondary implant stability with and without PRF. With the PRF group, there was less marginal bone loss. This suggests that PRF increases the stability of implants. Compared to the group without PRF, implants containing PRF demonstrated better Osseo integration and less marginal bone loss.
