Intervention shows reduced nerve impairment in a high-risk group during surgery, suggesting PRP's preventive role.
In a radiologically high-risk population undergoing mandibular third molar extraction, intraoperative platelet-rich plasma use was associated with a reduction in early inferior alveolar nerve neurosensory impairment, without a measurable effect on long-term recovery or persistence. These findings suggest that PRP may act as a preventive intervention during the acute postoperative phase rather than as a treatment for established nerve injury.
