This study compared the clinical results of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatment and
buccal advancement flap surgery for the closure of acute oroantral communications
(AOACs). After the posterior maxillary teeth were extracted from 36 individuals,
AOACs greater than 3 mm in diameter were found. Twenty-one patients in group
A received PRF clotting, while fifteen patients in group B received the traditional
buccal advancement flap. Baseline variables such as pain, the analgesic doses are
taken, and swelling was assessed preoperatively. These were also examined on
postoperative days 1, 2, 3, and 7, and patients were seen again in the 3rd week.
In group A, statistically significant reduction was examined (P < 0.05) in pain and
the analgesic doses are taken (sum of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th days on days 1 and 2)
(PRF).The swelling was also significantly less in group A (P < 0.05).
