Effects of NSAIDs/corticosteroids on PRP or PRF?
Last Updated: Sep 13, 2010
Dr. B asks:
In placing implants, I sometimes prescribe NSAID’s [non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs] or corticosteroids. I am not sure if this will lead to a less than desirable outcome because of the potential for interaction with the normal healing process and other drugs or biologic materials used in the surgical placement of dental implant fixtures. In particular, does anyone know if NSAID’s or corticosteroids will interact adversely with PRP [Platelet Rich Plasma] or PRF [Platelet Rich Fibrin]? And, how PRF is superior to PRP?
