Abstract
Tooth extraction is a common oral surgical procedure in dental practice. Indications for this procedure include extensive caries, trauma, inflammatory processes, cystic and tumorous formations, as well as orthodontic and pros- thetic needs of the patient. The development of implant technology and aesthetic dentistry has necessitated the preservation or creation of a biological base after tooth ex- traction. Alveolar preservation has been recommended as an effective, economical, and simple method to maintain the contours of the bone base. For this purpose, a variety of materials and techniques are used, including autografts, allografts, xenografts, and alloplastic materials, which offer osteogenic, osteoinductive, and osteoconductive abilities. An improved method of obtaining platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) was presented by Dr. Choukroun in 2001, offering a simple and more effective alternative compared to previous tech- niques. In this case report, a 42-year-old patient underwent multiple tooth extractions with alveolar preservation using PRF. After the application of the PRF protocol, the clinical width of the alveolus was evaluated, and clinical parame- ters were monitored for 3 months. The results indicate that the use of PRF for alveolar preservation provides an effec- tive and safe method for promoting wound healing and bone regeneration after tooth extraction. Furthermore, the study’s conclusions confirm that PRF is a valuable therapeu- tic material for alveolar preservation after tooth extraction and suggest that this method may yield optimal clinical outcomes for patients.
