NCT07652216

Brief Summary

This prospective clinical study evaluates bone healing following dentigerous cyst enucleation associated with impacted mandibular third molar extraction. The study compares spontaneous blood clot healing, Advanced Platelet-Rich fibrin (A-PRF), and A-PRF combined with Autogenous Dentin Demineralized Matrix (ADDM). Bone healing is assessed as the primary outcome, while postoperative pain intensity assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with graphical representation represents a secondary outcome. The study aims to determine whether the use of A-PRF or A-PRF combined with ADDM improves postoperative healing outcomes compared with spontaneous blood clot healing.

Model Details: Participants were randomly assigned in parallel to one of three study groups following enucleation of mandibular dentigerous cysts associated with impacted mandibular third molars. Group A underwent healing on a natural blood clot, Group B received Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF), and Group C received A-PRF combined with Autogenous Demineralized Dentin Matrix. Postoperative pain intensity was assessed at predefined postoperative time points using a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with graphical visualisation.
