Description
Summary:According to Anitua protocol, the process for obtaining PRP involves the collection of a 10-mL blood sample. Platelet activation occurs by the addition of 10 mL of a 10% calcium chloride solution.® It has been reported that the use of PRP in surgical practice could have beneficial outcomes, such as enhancing soft tissue healing, bone regeneration and a decrease in bleeding. [4] In a study by Ogundipe et al, the scores for lamina dura, trabecular pattern and bone density were much better among patients in the PRP group, but the difference was not statistically significant.® A study by Gürbüzer et al. (using scintigraphy) showed that application of PRP on its own to soft tissue-impacted mandibular third molar extraction sockets failed to increase the osteoblastic activity in postsurgical weeks 1 and 4 in comparison to non-PRP-treated sockets. [9] Review of the literature and also field experiences suggest that the use of...
