Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the bone height, bone volume, bone mineral density and trabecular pattern in the empty surgical extraction socket where simvastatin/PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) is placed, via CBCT analysis.Timepoint: CBCT analysis to be done- of bony socket before placement of Simvastatin/PRF immediately after surgical extraction of third molars (baseline). 6th month post-operatively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the probing depth distal to the second molar.Timepoint: 1st week, 3rd week, 3rd month and at 6th month.;To estimate pain at follow-up.Timepoint: 1st week, 3rd week, 3rd month and at 6th month.;To measure swelling at follow-up.Timepoint: 1st week, 3rd week, 3rd month and at 6th month.;To observe for trismus.Timepoint: 1st week, 3rd week, 3rd month and at 6th month.
