Evaluation of low-level laser therapy and platelet-rich fibrin on donor site healing after vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue flap: a randomized clinical study
AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on donor site healing after vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue (VIP-CT) flap.

description | AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on donor site healing after vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue (VIP-CT) flap. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For the present clinical study, the selected patients requiring VIP-CT flap were randomly assigned into either of the two treatment groups (VIP-CT/PRF and VIP-CT/LLLT). For VIP-CT/PRF, palatal donor site treated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF, n = 15) after harvesting VIP-CT flap; and for VIP-CT/LLLT, palatal donor site treated with low-level laser therapy (LLLT, n = 16) after harvesting VIP-CT flap. RESULTS: The mean thickness of palatal mucosa at surgical site was increased from 2.91 ± 0.65 to 2.93 ± 0.55 mm after 1 week and to 3.02 ± 0.55 mm after 12 weeks while in PRF-treated site, while in LLLT-treated sites, palatal mucosal thickness decreased after 1 week from 3.35 ± 0.56 mm to 1.83 ± 0.48 mm and then increase to 3.35 ± 0.55 mm after 12 weeks, and the mean difference was significantly higher for PRF-treated group compared to LLLT-treated group. In regard to contour, absence of hypertrophic tissue was observed in VIP-CT/LLLT compared with VIP-CT/PRF group (40% of patients, p = 0.003) at 4 weeks. “Absence” of pain and burning sensation were observed as early as at 1 week in LLLT-treated palatal donor sites compared to PRF-treated palatal donor site after VIP-CT. Improvement in post-surgical complications like ecchymosis, tissue necrosis, swelling, and infection were observed almost 100% at 4 weeks in both the groups. CONCLUSION: Favourable clinical outcomes in terms of tissue thickness, consistency, color, contour, scar, pain, and burning sensation and patient comfort were obtained in both LLLT- and PRF-treated donor palatal sites at 12 weeks. Non-significant increase in tissue thickness was observed compared to baseline in PRF-treated donor sites at 12 weeks compared to LLLT-treated donor sites. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Both low-level laser therapy (LLLT) using 940 nm wavelength and autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) can be utilized to enhance early wound healing and reduce the palatal donor site morbidity. |
