Application of Growth Factors Derived From Platelets to Accelerate Healing and Reduce Post-extraction Complications in Diabetic Individuals

To evaluate soft tissue closure in diabetic extraction sockets using digital scans.

To compare healing between sockets treated with Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) vs. untreated control sites.

To assess post-operative discomfort and patient satisfaction.

Treatment and study plan

Platelet Rich Fibrin

Procedure

Description: A-PRF is a biologically active scaffold that fits into the proven principles of the physiology of the wound-healing process. Its action lies in the controlled and prolonged release of fundamental factors like the PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor), TGF-β (transforming growth factor beta), and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) which collectively enhance cellular migration, angiogenic events, and extracellular matrix remodeling factors of repair in the recovery of the tissues.
