Efficacy of Platelet Rich Fibrin Versus Chitosan as A Hemostatic Agent Following Dental Extraction in Patients on Antiplatelet Therapy.

ConclusionIn this study, Chitosan hydrogel dressing thus proved to be a superior hemostatic agent compared to PRF gel, that significantly shortens the clotting time following dental extraction in patients under antiplatelet therapy. But, PRF gel has superior wound healing properties than Chitosan with less postoperative pain following minor oral surgical procedures under local anesthesia.
