|NEED FOR THE STUDY:

Successful osseointegration is the first step in long-term survival and stability of a dental implant. Surface modifications by implant manufacturers are aimed at improving the bone-implant contact and another technique for improving the bone-implant contact and reducing osseointegration time could be represented by the use of autologous blood derivatives that contain a rich supply of growth factors and bone-specific proteins*.*1

Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) is the most recent and successful advancement in PRF and is beneficial for bone augmentation of the alveolar ridge prior to or during implant placement and wound healing.2

Use of i-PRF as a surface coating performed as a chairside procedure to coat the surface of the implant just prior to placement can be implemented to improve osseointegration. It could possibly serve as a simple, economical, and effective way of ensuring better implants success and quicker treatment time. As it is in a liquid formulation, it can be evenly applied all over the implant surface.1

The scientific data regarding the i-prf coated implants is inadequate. Hence, the present study is designed to evaluate and compare implants with and without i-PRF coating.

**SURFACE COATING OF IMPLANT WITH i-PRF:**

Ø  The osteotomy sites will be prepared using standard sequential drilling protocol for the full sequence.

Ø  Just before implant placement the i-PRF will be prepared.

Ø  For i-PRF preparation,10 ml of whole blood without anticoagulant will be centrifuged at 700 rpm for 3 min at room temperature. 3

Ø  After 3 mins the straw-colored liquid present at the top which is i-PRF will be collected.

Ø  1.5 ml of i-PRF liquid will be used to coat the implants by dipping in i-PRF.

**RESEARCH QUESTION** - Does implant with i-PRF will have better implant stability and crestal bone levels when compared to implants without i-PRF?

**RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS [H1]** - Implant with i-PRF may have better implant stability and crestal bone levels when compared to implants without i-PRF.
