Effect of concentrated growth factor(CGF) on postoperative patient comfort in impacted lower third molars undergoing coronectomy: a prospective clinical study

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CGF on post-operative patient comfort following coronectomy in impacted third molars with roots associated with the nervus alveolaris inferior. Materials and Methods Thirty-five patients with bilateral vertical impacted wisdom teeth with roots associated with the nervus alveolaris inferior were included in the study with an indication for coronectomy. Coronectomy was performed on both sides followed by cgf on one side. Pain levels were monitored with the VAS scale for 7 post-operative days. In addition, the amount of edema occurring on post-operative days 2 and 7 was also measured. All data were statistically evaluated. Statistical significance was determined as pResults The first 6 days showed significantly lower (pConclusion It is possible to prevent possible nerve damage with coronectomy. In addition, CGF can successfully improve patient comfort in the early post-operative period. Clinical Relevance Post-operative pain and edema, which are very important for patients, can be significantly reduced with the application of CGF, an easily obtainable autogenous product. The results obtained may provide valuable contributions to clinicians.
