Comparative Evaluation of Healing in FGG with Cyanoacrylate glue vs Stent vs Conventional sutures – A Pilot study

Background: Evaluating postoperative healing in free gingival grafts (FGG) stabilized with cyanoacrylate adhesive and prefabricated stents, as alternatives to conventional suturing in the mandibular anterior region, is of clinical significance. These methods may offer comparable outcomes in terms of vascularity and sof...

Comparative efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin protocols for alveolar ridge preservation: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

This systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to evaluate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP), as well as to compare and rank different PRF protocols according to their relative effectiveness. Electronic searches were conducted in five databases for...

Effectiveness of different autologous platelet concentrates for orthodontic canine retraction following premolar extraction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) have been increasingly used to accelerate orthodontic canine retraction; however, their effectiveness and associated clinical outcomes remain unclear. To evaluate the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), and leukocyte-platelet-rich...

Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Combined with Bone Grafts in Maxillary Sinus Augmentation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The incorporation of PRF into particulate bone grafts during MSFA enhances histological graft maturation by increasing NFB, without a demonstrable effect on RG, and may be regarded as a low-cost autologous adjunct where accelerated histological graft maturation is the specific objective.
