Abstract

Aim: The study was aimed at determining the evaluation of hard and soft tissues at the extraction site when using advanced platelet rich fibrin compared to natural healing.
Methodology: The present study was conducted on 30 subjects. The patients were allocated to receive either advanced platelet rich fibrin (APRF) (test group) or left for natural healing (control group). Alveolar ridge width was measured at 2 months and 4 months follow up and then it was subjected to a statistical analysis.
Results: The buccolingual width result in the test group was decreased to 6.37±1.16mm while for the control groups, the values decreased to 5.95±0.53mm after 4 months with no statistical significance between the 2 groups. Both treatment protocols could not prevent bone resorption after 4 months.
Conclusion: Despite the fact that ARP using APRF in our study did not totally avert bone loss, the values observed after 4 months were much lower than unassisted extraction.
