Abstract

To assess the effect of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (APRF) and concentrated growth factor (CGF) on tissues around implants in the maxillary anterior region. This was a prospective clinical study. Thirty subjects were divided into three groups with 10 dental implants in each group, i.e., Group 1: Control group, Group 2: Endosseous implant placement with APRF, and Group 3: Endosseous implant placement with CGF. The subjects were assessed at baseline (at the time of prosthesis placement), 2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months, and 1 year for modified sulcular bleeding index, periimplant probing depth, mucosal suppuration, bleeding on probing, crestal bone level as well as implant stability. Oneway Analysis of variance and Post hoc Bonferroni were the statistical tests used. The difference in implant stability at 2 months was significantly (P < 0.05) more among the control and CGF groups compared to APRF group. However; the crestal bone levels, periimplant probing depth, modified sulcular bleeding index, mucosal suppuration, and bleeding on probing were statistically non-significant (P > 0.05). CGF and APRF accelerated osseointegration. Furthermore, they had a positive effect on stabilization values. However, CGF showed better results and with further clinical trials may show a positive effect on implant healing period.
