Abstract

Objective: To determine the efficacy of platelet rich plasma on bone healing of alveolar socket and alveolar osteitis prevention following surgical extraction of teeth compared to normal healing.

Setting: This Comparative cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery LUMHS Jamshoro from June 2018 to December 2019.

Methodology: A complete history of the patient with personal details, presenting complains, past medical and dental history, health status was noted. After examination the clinical findings were recorded along with history of any habits that can interfere with healing so as to control the confounding factors. Presence or absence of alveolar osteitis was noted and bone healing was assessed radiographicaly.

Results: Total 96 patients were studied. 48 of platelet rich plasma group (PRP) and 48 of platelet sans rich plasma group (control). Mean age of PRP group was 34.81 ± 9.09 years and control 32.70 ± 9.54 years. There was no significant difference among both groups according to age, p-value 0.638. Patient’s distribution according to criteria for dry socket, on 3^rd, 7^th and 14^th day assessment post-operative pain, partially or totally disintegrated blood clot, denuded socket and pus in the socket were significantly lower among patients of PRP group as compared to control group. On patient’s distribution according to mean radiographic score for assessment of bone healing on 3^rd week most of the cases were with (+1 Lamina dura substantially thinned, missing in some areas) in both groups and 2^nd month assessment most of the patients with (0 Within normal limits) in both groups, result were statistically non-significant on 2^nd month and 4^th month p-values 0.344 and 0.959 respectively.

Conclusion: Platelet rich plasma showed better outcomes of alveolar socket healing and encountered decrease occurrence of dry socket as compare to control group.
