Treatment of Oral Mucositis Using Platelet Rich Fibrin TREATMENT OF ORAL MUCOSITIS USING PRF

All patients were affected by oral mucositis (9 RIOM, 6 chemotherapy-related oral mucositis). They were treated with almost 2 different systemic therapies before and during platelets gel applications. Median of time before the lesions were treated with platelets gel were 7 days. Lesions affected buccal mucosa, tongue, labial commissure and lower lip. Preliminar parameters were the microbiological contamination of lesions and presence of pain. Patients refer spontaneous widespread pain worsened by swallowing and feeding. Response to treatment has been evaluated in relation to the reduction of lesions dimensions, to the involution of pain and presence of granulation tissue after every application of platelet gel.
