Aim: This prospective study was attempted to evaluate post operative clinical parameters of platelet rich fibrin and platelet rich plasma in third molar extraction sockets. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of the institute wherein total 20 patients studied authentically. Patients those undergone their third molar extraction, were included in the study. Moreover, authors included only bilateral mandibular third molar cases. In the fresh extraction sockets, plate¬let-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were placed in the either sockets. PRF was placed in the right extraction sockets (group I) whereas PRP was placed the left extraction sockets (group II). Comprehensive case history was recorded with all photographic and radiographic records. Authors explained the methodology and other details to all participating patients. Informed consents were also obtained from all patients. Results: Out of 20 patients, males were 13 and females were 7. Initially, statistical assessment of postoperative pain in all 20 patients in which PRF placed in the right extraction sockets (group I) was attempted. The related mean value was 3.83 for all studied four follow up days (1th, 5th, 10th and 15th day). P value was highly significant for this parameter (0.01). The statistical assessment of postoperative swelling in all 20 patients in which PRP placed in the left extraction sockets (group II) also showed very imperative responses. The related mean value was 2.69 for all studied four follow up days (1th, 5th, 10th and 15th day). P value was non significant for this parameter (0.07). Conclusion: Authors concluded that in the fresh mandibular third molar extraction sockets, plate¬let-rich fibrin and platelet-rich plasma both worked well in reducing post operative pain, swelling and trismus. Authors did not notice any significant difference with PRF and PRP. Both of the studied materials are seems to have almost equal potential in osseous healing.
