Abstract

not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown Aim/Purpose: This study aims to compare the efficacy of locally applied Titanium-Platelet Rich Fibrin (T-PRF) and Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) in bone defect healing using micro-CT analysis and histopathological examination in rabbit models. Materials and Methods: Eight healthy male New Zealand rabbits, aged 4-6 months, were utilized. Circular bicortical defects (6 mm diameter) were created at three areas in each rabbit. One of the defects was chosen as the control group received saline solution, while T-PRF and L-PRF were applied to the defect sites in separate experimental groups. Bone regeneration was analyzed using high-resolution micro-CT and histological evaluation post-sacrifice. Statistical analysis assessed the significance of observed differences. Results: Micro-CT analysis revealed significant differences among the groups in bone volume, trabecular thickness, trabecular number, connectivity, and connectivity density (p<0.05). Both T-PRF and L-PRF groups exhibited superior bone parameters compared to controls, with L-PRF showing higher values. Trabecular separation and bone surface area to bone volume ratio did not differ significantly among the groups (p>0.05). Histological examination indicated advanced healing stages in the L-PRF group, suggesting both T-PRF and L-PRF contribute to bone regeneration, with L-PRF demonstrating better effects. Conclusion: The study concludes that while both T-PRF and L-PRF aid in bone regeneration, L-PRF shows superior efficacy. L-PRF is recommended for bone defect healing due to its better performance in enhancing bone parameters.
