Effect of platelet-rich fibrin in enhancing healing after impacted mandibular third molar extractions: A randomized controlled trial

The effect of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in improving healing post-impacted mandibular third molar extractions is of interest. Hence, a randomized trial was conducted with 30 patients, comparing outcomes between those treated with PRF and those without. The results demonstrated that PRF significantly reduced pain and swelling and promoted better bone healing, particularly in the early postoperative period. Although benefits plateaued at 6 months, PRF remains a promising adjunct for enhancing recovery in oral surgery.
