Uso do L-PRF no controle pós-operatório da cirurgia de terceiros molares: revisão de literatura

Abstract

Third molar surgery is a common procedure in the dental office, however, it requires the potential dental surgeon to perform more complex procedures when necessary and know how to deal with all the possibles complications and their treatments. The leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin membrane (L-PRF) has been used as an adjuvant to act in the tissue recovery process at epithelial and bone levels. Its indications occur from the trans-operative period to the post-surgery complications of third molars. The use of L-PRF allows tissue recovery in a shorter period of time, in addition to improving pain control, edema, hemorrhage, regeneration of hard tissues and acting to prevent the development of a possible infection in the surgical site. This reseach is justified by the need to present and compare the differences observed through the data obtained by the methods used in the literature review and to analyze the benefit of using L-PRF in third molar extraction, as well as the control of postoperative edema, healing and remodeling of the alveolar bone córtex.
