Multi-modular bone healing assessment in a randomized controlled clinical trial of root-end surgery with the use of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin and an occlusive membrane

ConclusionsThere was no evidence for improvement of bone healing when RES was applied with LPRF in comparison with RES without LPRF. However, RES with BG gave evidence for a better outcome than RES without BG.Clinical relevanceThe addition of an occlusive membrane rather than an autologous platelet concentrate improved bone regeneration 1  year post RES significantly, irrespective of the assessment device applied. The accuracy of PR assessment is questionable.
