Abstract
ABSTRACT
Aim Immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sockets
is an accepted treatment modality and for better predictable
outcomes the resultant peri-implant gap should be grafted.
Many grafting materials are available; in this study, a xenograft
was used with Advanced-Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) as a
supplement to tissue regeneration procedures. The aim of
this study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically
the efficiency of using A-PRF-xenograft mixture around
immediate implants in the esthetic zone.
Materials and methods For this randomized controlled
clinical trial, 18 patients requiring extraction of maxillary
anterior teeth and immediate implant placement were
selected. They were randomly divided into two groups: the
study group, where the peri-implant gap was filled with
A-PRF-xenograft mixture, and the control group, where the
gap was filled with xenograft alone. The variables studied
were probing depth, implant stability, marginal bone height
and bone density; the follow-up period was 9 months. For
statistical analysis, independent and paired t-tests were used.
Results Improvements were seen regarding all variables with
no significant differences noticed during follow-up, except
for implant stability which showed statistically significant
differences.
Conclusion The results highlighted the promising effects
of A-PRF-xenograft mixture on bone and soft tissue healing
around immediate implants in the esthetic zone.
