Platelet-rich fibrin and titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin in endoperio lesion management.

Abstract

Endo-perio lesions involve a variety of therapy choices that will lead to the best possible elimination of infection. Various therapy approaches have been investigated for curing of patients affected by endo-perio abnormalities. One of the second-generation platelet derivatives is plasma enriched with platelet (PRP).They may aid in the healing of wounds. Enhanced with platelets cells and several growth factors, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) promotes repair and healing and regeneration of tissue at the periapical area. Platelet cell and leukocyte cell enriched fibrin, prepared in conjunction with titanium (T-PRF), is analogous to fibrin made using the traditional PRF process.The current study was undertaken to compare PRF against T-PRF in the therapy of endo-perio abnormalities using the basic information that was available.280 patients of all sexes between the ages of 18 years and 58 years make up the study's participants. They were divided into two categories. In category I study participants PRF was employed to fill the defect created due to pathology and in category II patients, a T-PRF was used, accompanied by suturing. The one walled, two walled, and three-wall walled infrabony abnormalities were quantified on the digital images acquired using the grid. After three months and six months, the probing periodontal pocket depth in mm and level of attachment (RAL) in mm were measured. In category one, mean change at 3 months was 3.21mm accounting for 33.79% change in PPD. On the other hand mean change at 6 months was 3.61mm accounting for 43.79% change in PPD. When there was evaluation in study participants in category two then it was observed that mean change at 3 months was 2.02mm accounting for 34.79% change in PPD. On the other hand mean change at 6 months was 3.62 mm accounting for 44.79% change in PPD. There was reduction of depth of periodontal pocket at both 3 months follow up and 6 months follow in both categories; however there was no statistical significant variation observed between the two categories regarding decrease in the depth of periodontal pocket on analysis of intergroup variations. It was concluded that there was increase in periodontal attachment and decrease in depth of periodontal pocket in both PRF and T-PRF however there was no statistical substantial variation observed between the two categories regarding increase in the attachment level or decrease in depth of periodontal when intergroup variations between PRF and T-PRF were considered.
