Abstract

Purpose
: The present study was conducted to evaluate the clinical and radiographic effect of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) in one stage dental implants in an attempt to improve outcomes of dental implants.
Material and methods
: This study was conducted on twelve (12) healthy patients that were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (control group) six (6) patients with one stage implant insertion without the use of platelet rich fibrin membrane ; Group B (Test group) six (6) patients with one stage implant insertion with the use of Platelet Rich Fibrin membrane.
 
Results: Test group showed a highly significant increase in its bone density (P-value 0.009) after six months in comparison with control group after six months follow up.
 
Conclusion: The use of platelet rich fibrin membrane in one stage implant insertion showed an improvement in peri-implant bone density which will affect implant stability and subsequent long implant survival.a
