Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Assessment of soft tissue healing at the surgical site following mandibular third molar extraction, comparing autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with collagen sponge, using a standardized healing index.Timepoint: Day 3, Day 5 and Day 10

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1)Postoperative pain measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at specified time intervals 2)Facial swelling (edema) assessed using linear facial measurements 3)Trismus (mouth opening restriction) measured as maximum interincisal distance 4)Incidence of postoperative complications, including infection and dry socket (alveolar osteitis) 5)Patient-reported quality of recoveryTimepoint: Day 3, Day 5 and Day 10
