QUALITY OF LIFE AFTER USING OF PLATELET RICH FIBRIN (PRF) IN PATIENTS WITH ALVEOLOPLASTIC EXTRACTION

Summary/Abstract: The social impact and the patients’ quality of life, in regard with their oral health status, show important alterations during the immediately post-surgery period, after alveoloplastic extractions. Alveoloplastic extraction is a usual surgical dental-alveolar procedure. Depending on the number of extracted teeth, their location, duration of procedure, or difficulty, the following post-surgery symptoms may occur: pain at various intensities, insomnia, local swelling, difficulty eating, speaking, symptoms that are affecting the patient’s life more intensely in the first three days after surgery. The study aims to evaluate the effects of PRF in the healing of post extraction wounds in the case of alveoloplastic extractions, by reducing the patient’s pain and discomfort in the immediate postoperative period, until the removal of suture threads. Oral diseases and disorders can affect the individuals’ physical and psycho-social state, thus leading to a negative perception of the oral health, which is susceptible to deteriorate the patients’ general quality of life (QoL). Study results showed that the use of PRF for rapid wound healing after alveoloplastic extraction can be beneficial in improving the quality of life of individuals.
