Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study represents a prospective, controlled and randomized clinical trial assessing the effects of L-PRF on the healing time of the donor area and on the patient's postoperative morbidity in the 4 weeks following the Apically Positioned Flap (APF) procedure in the uncovering phase of two-stage implants.

A total of 40 patients were recruited and divided into two groups. The implant uncovering procedure in the test group was performed with APF and application of L-PRF on the donor area. Patients in the control group, on the other hand, were treated with APF alone, leaving the donor area to heal by secondary intention.

Study Groups

APF + L-PRF

Application of a layer of L-PRF to protect the donor area after uncovering implant procedure using Apically Positioned Flap (APF).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Application of L-PRF on the donor area

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

After implant uncovering procedure with apically positioned flap, the donor area is covered with a layer of L-PRF
