Treatment of periodontal intrabony defects using autologous platelet-rich fibrin and titanium platelet-rich fibrin: a randomized, clinical, comparative study.
Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry 2017 August
AIM: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of open flap debridement (OFD) alone and OFD with either autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or titanium PRF (TPRF) in the treatment of intrabony defects (IBD).
METHODS: The study was conducted on patients reporting to the Department of Periodontics, The Oxford Dental College and Hospital, Bangalore, India. Thirty-eight patients with 90 periodontal IBD of moderate-severe periodontitis were selected and assigned to the OFD alone group (group I), the OFD with autologous PRF group (group II), or the OFD with TPRF group (group III). In each patient, a minimum number of two sextants were present, with probing pocket depths (PPD) ≥5 mm in at least three teeth.
RESULTS: At 9 months' postoperatively, upon comparing the PPD reduction, defect depth reduction, and clinical attachment level gains, it was noted that groups II and III showed statistically-significant improvements compared with group I, but no statistically-significant difference was noted between groups II and III.
CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrated that marked improvements in the clinical parameters and radiographic outcomes were noted with both autologous PRF and TPRF in the treatment of IBD.
