ASSESSMENT OF SOFT TISSUE HEALING OVER IMMEDIATELY PLACED IMPLANT SEALED WITH PLATELETS RICH FIBRIN (PRF) VERSUS DIODE LASER

"for the preparation of PRF, A well-trained professional nurse drew 10ml of patient blood from the antecubital vein and transferred it to a test tube without anticoagulant. The blood sample was immediately centrifuged for 10-12 minutes at 3000 rpm. L-PRF was ready to use after centrifugation.~PRF membrane was put over the implant and slightly tucked under the soft tissue periphery, then held in place with a figure-of-8 suture by 0.5 proline suture"

"* A 980 nm diode laser device (BIOLASE) was applied in a circular motion to the blood formed at the socket orifice at a power of 1W for 1 minute with a continuous wave mode, the application was done without touching the pooling blood and with a non-activated tip of the fiber optic.~* The laser application cycle was repeated 3-5 times to yield a stable fixed blood clot covering the dental implant with no oozing blood from its periphery."
