Fibrina rica en plaquetas durante la cicatrización y regeneración ósea posexodoncia. Overview

Abstract

Significant anatomical changes occur after a dental extraction and the postoperative period is painful and uncomfortable for the patient. Over the years, little interest has been shown in the consequences of not preserving bone structures in post-exodontic sockets, which is why the application of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) has been introduced, as it has had notable advantages since its first application in reducing pain, edema, and bone regeneration. Objective: To provide a general description of the systematic reviews of the published literature on the efficacy of PRF during post-exodontic bone healing and regeneration. Materials and methods: Umbrella review of systematic reviews; the search for information was performed in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Redalyc, Science Direct, Springer, Medline, and gray literature (books). For the search of informative material, we used keywords such as Platelet-rich Fibrin, Molar surgery, bone regeneration, extraction. Results: The results indicate that alveolar bone reduction ranged from 3.87 to 1.67 mm in the first three post-exodontia months, while 3.79 ± 0.23 in horizontal dimension and 1.24 ± 0.11 mm in vertical dimension after six months. Conclusions: PRF has the property of preserving the alveolus and stimulating bone regeneration, as well as decreasing postoperative symptoms.
