Autologous platelet concentrate for post-extraction socket healing: A systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the results of the meta-analysis of the present review are suggestive for a positive effect of platelet concentrates on bone formation in post-extraction sockets, due to the limited amount and quality of the available evidence, they need to be cautiously interpreted. A standardisation of the experimental design is necessary for a better understanding of the true effects of the use of platelet concentrates for enhancing post-extraction socket healing. Conflict of interest statement: The authors declare they have no conflicts of interest.
