About this study

Official title: Effect Of Autologous Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) On Post-Operative Complications And Healing Following The Extractions Impacted Mandibular Wisdoms

As post-operative pain, infection inflammation and infections are the main complications after the surgical extraction of the lower third molar the aim of this study is to compare the healing effects of PRF administered postoperatively

Read the detailed description

PRF will be randomly administered into one group of patients undergoing any extractions group A (Right after the extraction) Group B will be a control group in which extraction sockets will be left to heal with the natural blood clot. Consenting patients will be assigned into groups randomly and not informed which group they were placed into. The PRF will be administered obtained from a tube of 10 ml blood and no material will be placed in the control group. The progress of healing and post-operative complications will be tracked over a period of 7 days with patients being called for follow-up on days 3, 5 and 7. Their post-operative complications will be checked at every subsequent visit and noted in the questionnaire. The Questionnaire is structured and will be interviewer-administered. It will comprise of basic bio-demographic data (such as name, age, sex, etc) and 3 closed-ended questions related to post-operative complications following the extraction

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain

    Post-operative pain will be measured using a visual analog scale in both groups i.e. conventional therapy group and PRF group on the 1st, 3rd and 7th post operative day.

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Post operative Swelling

    Post operative swelling will be measured in terms of metric calculation (centimeters) in 2 sites i.e: 1. From the tragus of the ear to angle of mouth and 2. From lateral canthus of eye to angle of mandible on the 3rd and 7th post operative day.

    Measured: 7 days

  3. Trismus- Post surgical limitation in mouth opening

    Trismus will be measured as the distance in (cm) between the edges of the maxillary and mandibular central incisors post surgically on the 3rd and 7th post operative day.

    Measured: 7 days

  4. Wound/ extraction socket healing

    The wound healing of the extraction socket of mandibular wisdom teeth will be assessed according to Landry\'s criteria on the 7th post operative day.

    Measured: 7 days
