Dental extraction protocol with plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) inserted into the postextraction alveolus vs Standard dental extraction protocol without PRGF

MRONJ (incidence proportion) · People with cancer treated with intravenous bisphosphonates undergoing dental extractions (at risk of MRONJ)

It is very uncertain whether dental extraction protocol with plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF)… changes MRONJ (incidence proportion) compared with standard dental extraction protocol without PRGF (very low certainty).
