Eficacia de membrana de plasma rica en fibrina avanzada autóloga en el tratamiento de enfermedad periodontal en caninos (Canis lupus familiaris)

Abstract

Periodontal disease (PD) is the most frequent problem in dogs and cats, it is the cause of systemic problems due to the access to the bloodstream of bacteria, surgical treatment methods with adjuvants have been used to repair the alterations generated by PD, being platelet rich fibrin (PRF) a platelet concentrate that stimulates the restoration of periodontal tissue. The objective of the research was to determine the efficacy of surgical implantation of advanced autologous platelet rich fibrin membrane in the periodontium for tissue restoration as an adjunct in the treatment of PD in canines (Canis lupus familiaris), through clinical and radiographic evaluation in a 6-week period, they were divided into 2 groups: treatment group 1: open flap debridement + advanced platelet rich fibrin membrane (DCA + A-PRF) (n = 23); control group 2: open flap debridement (DCA) (n = 23), our results showed a reduction in the furcation index, of pieces treated with PRF of 83,3%, 50% were reduced to grade I, but no significant differences per treatment, in addition, the reduction of the periodontal pocket was significant (p <0,002) in the 91% of teeth; obtaining 0,63 mm of improvement at day 42 in the PRF group vs 0,28 mm in the DCA group. In the results of the alveolar margin defect index (AMA), the A-PRF treatment showed a better percentage than the DCA treatment (16,13%> 2,5%) and (18,64%> 5,46%). In conclusion, the application of the DCA + A-PRF is effective in improving dental health status of teeth for dogs with PD in a period of 6 weeks.
