Comparative outcomes of platelet concentrates and blood clot scaffolds for regenerative endodontic procedures: A systematic review of randomized controlled clinical trials
BACKGROUND: The main objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness of platelet concentrates -Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or Fibrin-rich plasma (PRF)- compared with blood clot (BC) as scaffolds for maturogenesis, in patients with immature permanent teeth with or without AP, in t...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: The main objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness of platelet concentrates -Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or Fibrin-rich plasma (PRF)- compared with blood clot (BC) as scaffolds for maturogenesis, in patients with immature permanent teeth with or without AP, in terms of the criteria for pulp revascularization success. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We reviewed randomized controlled clinical trials comparing regenerative endodontic therapies (maturogenesis) based on PRP or PRF versus the conventional BC approach, in necrotic teeth with or without apical periodontitis (AP) under clinical and radiographic criteria. We performed a strategic search in MEDLINE (PUBMED), EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science from inception to October 2022. This systematic review of the literature was developed following the Cochrane Collaboration and PRISMA statement recommendations. We used the Cochrane risk of bias tool v2 to assess the included studies’ quality. We performed a qualitative synthesis of the evidence. RESULTS: Ten randomized controlled clinical trials were included in this systematic review. Analyses of these studies suggest that maturogenesis is a successful therapy regardless of the method employed. However, further research should be conducted with more suitable research methodologies and more homogenous data for meta-analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Results from this systematic review suggest that BC maturogenesis approaches yield similar clinical and radiographic outcomes when compared to Platelet-concentrates based therapies (PRP and PRF). Key words:Maturogenesis, Revascularization, Platelet-rich plasma, Fibrin-rich plasma, blood clot, systematic review. |
