About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effect of Advanced Platelet-rich Fibrin and Leukocyte- and Platelet-rich Fibrin on Outcomes After Removal of Impacted Mandibular Third Molar: A Randomised Split-mouth Study

In this study, it was aimed to investigating and comparing the postoperative effects of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) in terms of pain, swelling on the cheek, and trismus after mandibular third molar surgery. The study included a total of 27 patients with bilateral impacted mandibular third molar which surgically operated at different times. Patients were evaluated in two randomly separated groups. For the first group; A-PRF and for the second group; L-PRF was applied into the tooth socket. The outcomes variables were; pain, swelling, the number of analgesics taken, and trismus. These variables were also assessed on the basis of; 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th days following the operation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF)Genetic

    blood samples collected in 10 ml of vacuumed plain glass tubes were centrifuged for 14 minutes at 1500 rpm without anticoagulant agents in order to obtain A-PRF

  • Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF)Genetic

    blood samples collected in 10 ml of glass coated plastic tubes were centrifuged without anticoagulant agents for 10 minutes in order to obtain L-PRF

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain Scores Evaluted

    For the postoperative period, the pain scores change was evaluated with the help of the visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Measured: 1st day after the operation.

  2. Pain Scores Evaluted

    For the postoperative period, the pain scores change was evaluated with the help of the visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Measured: 2nd day after the operation.

  3. Pain Scores Evaluted

    For the postoperative period, the pain scores change was evaluated with the help of the visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Measured: 3rd day after the operation.

  4. Pain Scores Evaluted

    For the postoperative period, the pain scores change was evaluated with the help of the visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Measured: 7th day after the operation.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Analgesics Taken by the Patients

    Measured: Each patient was evaluated on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th days after the operation.

  2. Trismus

    Trismus was assessed by measuring the distance between the mesioincisal corner of the maxillary and mandibular right incisors while mouth was fully opened

    Measured: Each patient was evaluated in order to obtain measurements on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th days after the operation.

  3. Swelling on the cheek

    In order to record swelling, a modification of the tape measurement method

    Measured: Each patient was evaluated in order to obtain measurements on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th days after the operation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) and Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in people with Pain, Postoperative and Trismus, run by Near East University, Turkey at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain Scores Evaluted (time frame: 1st day after the operation.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2018.
