| Abstract: Objectives: Dry socket is a common post-extraction complication. It is possible to occur following immediate implant placement. This study was designed to assess the efficacy of PRF for the management of established dry socket following immediate implant placement. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients with established dry sockets following immediate implant placement were included. Patients were divided randomly, patients of group I were treated by socket curettage and irrigation, while in group II PRF was inserted in the space around the implant and filled the socket. Pain and granulation tissue formation score has been used to assess both groups. Results: The pain score was 6 to 10 on the day zero, 3 to 6 on the day four and 1 to 3 on the day seven in group I, while in group II the pain score was 6 to 10 on the day zero, 0 to 3 on the day four and 0 to 1 on the day seven (p 0.001). On group II the formations of granulation tissue appeared earlier than group I. Four implants failed, three implants in group I and one implant in group II. Conclusion: This study suggests that the use of PRF for the management of dry socket following immediate implant placement relieves pain, accelerates the process of wound healing and increases implant success rate. | ||||
