Does platelet-rich fibrin have a role in osseointegration of immediate implants? A randomized, single-blind, controlled clinical trial

Immediate implants are a valuable treatment option to replace natural teeth in the aesthetic region. The hypothesis of this randomized controlled clinical trial was that immediate implants grafted with autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) have better clinical and radiographic outcomes than non-grafted controls. Forty-one implants were placed in 31 subjects with one or more non-restorable single-rooted teeth. Autologous PRF was placed in the peri-implant region of the study group (n=21) and no augmentation was done in the control group (n=20).
