The Effect of Autologous Platelet Concentrations on Orthodontic Treatment Time

60 patients needed therapeutic extraction of the maxillary first premolars with subsequent retraction of the maxillary canines were divided to randomly three groups: (1) PRP group: Received PRP injections, (2) I-PRF group: Received I-PRF injections, (3) Control group: conventional treatment with no injections. TPAs were used as an anchor unit. Coil springs were used to distalize the upper canines on 0.019 x 0.025-inch stainless archwires. Alginate impressions and dental casts of the maxillary arch were done at five-time points over a 4-month follow-up period. The amount of canine movement, canine rotation, and anchorage loss were measured on three-dimensional digital models superimposed on the rugae area.
