Granulation tissue was carefully removed and the socket rinsed with sterile
saline.
Six x 10ml blood was taken into anticoagulant tubes and immediately
Platelet-rich fibrin clots were sutured to the gingiva with 3-0 silk non-
resorbable sutures and the extraction cavity was filled with platelet-rich
fibrin.
Suturing the clots prevents them from migrating to the sinus, and stabilizes
them.
After the cavity has been filled with clots, the gingival margins were closed
with horizontal matrix sutures.

• PRF contains more growth factors and is more biocompatible than PRP. It
possesses an additional favourable impact on wound healing due to its three
dimensional fibrin architecture and antimicrobial activity.
• PRF is a fibrin meshwork, in which platelet cytokines, growth factors and cells
are entrapped and discharged after a period and can serve as a resorbable
film.
• Fibrin is essential for blood clot contraction( retraction) that is, spontaneous
shrinkage of the clot, which plays a role in hemostasis, wound healing, and
restoring the flow of blood post obstructive thrombi.
• Mechanisms governing platelet- mediated tissue repair.
They release cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors such as SDF-1 and
neutrophils, monocytes, SMCs, MSCs and other cell types critically involved in
wound healing.
• Stages of healing with PRP :
Hemostasis
Inflammation
Minimally invasive technique with low risks and satisfactory clinical results
such as preventing complications or implant failure.
• A retrospective study was conducted in the maxillofacial surgery unit of the
Federico university of naples from April 2017 to December 2020.
• The use of PRF for immediate closure of acute OACs will make the treatment
of OACs less traumatic and easier and will eliminate the need for special
surgical expertise.
