The Effects of Platelet-Rich Fibrin Membrane on Secondary Healing After Pleomorphic Adenoma Excision in the Hard Palate: A Preliminary Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
AIM This study aims to evaluate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane on secondary healing after pleomorphic adenoma (PA) excision in the hard palate. MATERIALS AND METHODS PRF membranes were laid over mucosal defects which occurred following PA excision in the hard palate. The secondary healing process was monitored in the patients by follow-up examinations on postoperative days 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40. RESULTS In this preliminary study, epithelialization was observed to have completed on the 30th day of follow-up in the first patient and on the 35th day in the second and third patients. No bleeding or infection was seen in any of the three patients. CONCLUSIONS PRF membrane as a new method in the secondary healing after PA excision in the hard palate provided rapid healing and reduced complications such as bleeding and infection.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most prevalent salivary tumor, 65% of which occur in major glands. This tumor varies in terms of size depending on the gland where it is located. The most common sites of the minor salivary glands are the palate, lips, cheeks, and throat. Palatal pleomorphic adenoma is laterally located, rarely crossing the midline. This tumor is painless with slow growth rate, which ...
