Summary

This study investigates the effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Kinesio Taping in reducing postoperative pain, edema, and improving recovery following impacted third molar surgery. A prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted with 44 patients aged 18-35 years. Patients were assigned to three groups: (1) PRF applied locally to the extraction socket, (2) Kinesio Taping applied postoperatively and removed on the third day, and (3) a control group receiving standard postoperative care. Postoperative outcomes were assessed on days 3 and 7, including pain levels, edema, and quality of life. This study aims to evaluate PRF and Kinesio Taping as non-pharmacological adjuncts in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
