L-PRF for Increasing Keratinised Mucosa Around Implants

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of L-PRF in increasing the width of the keratinsed mucosa around implants. Furthermore, it was assessed whether this surgery was associated with significantly less post-operative discomfort for the patient compared to Free Gingival Graft surgery. L-PRF for increasing keratinised mucosa around implants.

Primary outcomes

  1. Amount of keratinised tissues

    Time frame: Measurements were performed pre-operatively (using lugol staining) and 3 months after surgery (using lugol staining). Results will be presented in the final paper.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Post-op pain assessment

    Time frame: Visual analogue scales were handed out after surgery and were collected 1 week post-operatively. Results will be presented in the final paper.
