Brief summary

Assessment of the influence of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) on the clinical parameters and the inflammation mediators levels in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in patients with periodontitis.

Detailed description

Forty subjects diagnosed with periodontitis were randomly divided into two groups. In the test group, SRP was performed with the subsequent application of iPRF into periodontal pockets, while in the control group SRP was performed alone. Clinical examination was performed before and 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment. For inflammation mediators levels determination in GCF samples ELISA method will be used.

Intervention model description

The study group consisted of 20 people participants who underwent the SRP procedure (scaling and root planing) and then i-PRF was administered into the pockets. In the control group also consisting of 20 people only the SRP procedure was performed. The therapeutic procedure was performed under local anesthesia (Septanest 200, Septodont, Paris, France), using an ultrasonic device (EMS Piezon, Tip PS, EMS, Nyon, Switzerland) and hand instruments (Gracey currettes (SMS), Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) by one operator. In the test group, i-PRF was prepared using a dedicated device (PRF Duo Quattro Centrifuge, Choukroun Pro-cess For PRF, Nice, France). After the SRP procedure, allocation was performed according to a randomization table prepared by a statistician, and i-PRF was administered into the pockets by one, trained operator.
