- Abstract
Introduction: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the post-operative pain, facial swelling and trismus with or without applying PRF(Platelet-Rich fibrin) to the region of attraction after the withdrawal of the impacted third molars. Methods: Forty patients(23 male, 17 female) ranging from 16-30 years age who provide the inclusion criteria were selected on this study. Patients were divided into two main groups. In the control group (20 patients), irrigated the socket by saline and in the experiment group socket filled with PRF. Patients were reclaimed 1. 3. 7. days after surgery. Post-operatively pain were evaluated with VAS(0-100), facial swelling evaluated with horizontal and vertical guide and trismus degree evaluated with maximum mouth opening quantity. These variants were also evaluated on postoperative 1. 3. 7 days. Results: Evaluations showed definite differences between the control group(without PRF) and the experiment group(PRF) in pain parameter, but no statistically significant difference was found between the other two parameters. Discussion and Conclusion: Using of PRF showed statistically significant diferrence between groups for pain, but not for edema and trismus.
