Prevention of Mandibular Third Molar Extraction- Associated Periodontal Defects Using Platelet-Rich Fibrin

NCT04033744 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The extraction of deep impacted mandibular third molar may cause periodontal defects at the distal root of the second molar. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in preventing periodontal complications at the distal root of the second molar adjacent to the extracted third molar.

Conditions

  • Periodontal; Lesion
  • Periodontal Pocket
  • Molar, Third

Interventions

PROCEDURE

extraction of mandibular third molar

After loco-regional anesthesia was administered, a full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap was raised. The flap incision was extended from the vestibular side of the retromolar trigon to the second molar, corresponding to its distolingual cusp. The incision continued intrasulcular at the second molar and proceeded with a release incision distally to the papilla between the first and second molars, on a 45° angle. An osteotomy using a Lindemann burr under constant irrigation, followed by an odontotomy using a diamond burr was performed, if necessary
