Evaluation of postoperative complications after mandibular third molar surgery with the use of platelet-rich fibrin: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The current literature was reviewed to analyze the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on postoperative complications after mandibular third molar surgery (pain, alveolar osteitis, swelling, and bone healing). A comprehensive literature search was performed up to 2016 in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, LILACS, and ScienceDirect databases and the grey literature. Additional records were identified through manual and reference searches. The full-text articles of potentially relevant studies were reviewed; only randomized clinical trials were included.
