    TLDR PRF may offer better healing and recovery than PRP for immediate implants.
    The study compared the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in 20 adults undergoing immediate post-extraction implant placement and loading. Group 1 received PRP, while Group 2 received PRF. Results showed that Group 1 experienced less pain on the first postoperative day, but both groups had good soft tissue healing after 7 days. No significant difference was found in implant mobility between the groups. Group 2 demonstrated greater crestal bone height gain in the first 3 months, but by the 6th month, the difference was non-significant. The study concluded that PRF could offer enhanced healing and functional recovery over PRP in this context. Limitations included a small sample size and short follow-up period.

      Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is expensive, painful, and often ineffective, with mixed reviews on its benefits. Alternatives like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are suggested as more reliable options.
