Purpose
To investigate the efficacy of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF; BTI Biotechnology
Institute, San Antonio, Spain) for the treatment of alveolar osteitis compared with a
positive control (Alvogyl; Septodont, Maidstone, Kent, UK).Twenty-two sockets were
randomized to receive Alvogyl and 22 sockets were randomized to receive ...
Discussion
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of PRGF with the positive control
Alvogyl for the treatment of AO using pain, exposed bone, inflammation, halitosis,
dysgeusia, and QoL as outcome measures.The PRGF group showed significantly faster bone coverage
and significantly decreased inflammation and halitosis (P
