Comparative Evaluation of the Efficacy of Injectable-PRF and Blood Clot in Maturogenesis of Non- Vital Immature Permanent Teeth- A Clinical Study

Abstract

Introduction: The regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) is considered as a viable treatment option for immature teeth with necrotic pulp caused due to trauma.

Aim: A clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy of blood clot and injectable PRF on root maturogenesis of immature permanent teeth.

Materials and Methods: Ten children of 8-13 yrs. age group were included in the study. After access opening, irrigation with 1% sodium hypochlorite and Tri-antibiotic paste was placed in the teeth. After 3 weeks, the cases were divided into two groups with five patients in each. Group I in which blood clot was induced and Group II injectable PRF was placed in the root canal as a scaffold.

Results: Injectable PRF induced greater root lengthening, shortened the healing of soft and hard tissues than blood clot in root maturogenesis.

Conclusion: Injectable PRF was more effective in root maturogenesis of non-vital immature permanent teeth compared to the blood clot.
