Prevention of Hemorrhagic Complications After Dental Extractions Into Open Heart Surgery Patients Under Anticoagulant Therapy: The Use of Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin

Pubblicazioni

Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) is a biomaterial commonly used in periodontology and implant dentistry to improve healing and tissue regeneration, particularly as filling material in alveolar sockets to regenerate bone for optimal dental implant placement. The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of L-PRF as a safe filling and hemostatic material…

Platelet-Rich Plasma and Resorbable Membrane for Prevention of Periodontal Defects After Deeply Impacted Lower Third Molar Extraction

Pubblicazioni

Purpose: The extraction of deeply included third molars may cause multiple periodontal defects at the distal root of the second molar. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a material containing autologous growth factors, which may be used in repairing and preventing periodontal complications at the distal root of the second molar adjacent to the extracted third molar.…

Prevention of Mandibular Third Molar Extraction-Associated Periodontal Defects: A Comparative Study

Pubblicazioni

Extraction of deep-impacted mandibular third molars may lead to periodontal defects at the distal surface of the adjacent second molar. The purpose of this study was to compare the ability of three regenerative approaches to prevent third molar extraction-related periodontal defects. Methods: Forty-five patients with bilateral osseous or soft tissue–impacted lower third molars were selected…

Use of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Periodontal Defect Treatment After Extraction of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars

Pubblicazioni

The extraction of mesioangular impacted third molars may cause multiple periodontal defects at the distal root of the second molar. These complications are even more frequent in older patients and when there are preoperative periodontal defects on the distal surface of the second molar before extraction of the impacted third molar. Mesioversion is among the…

Prevention of Postoperative Bleeding in Anticoagulated Patients Undergoing Oral Surgery: Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma Gel

Pubblicazioni

Purpose: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a protocol using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to prevent bleeding after dental extraction in patients treated with anticoagulant oral therapy. Materials and Methods: Forty patients with mechanical heart-value replacement who were treated with anticoagulant oral therapy were selected for the study. Each patient was treated with PRP gel placed…
