GroupInterventionDescription
EXPERIMENTALPlatelet rich fibrinOnly the test side that will be intervened with i-PRF will be obtained from the upper liquid layer and will be placed in dental injectors using a 27 mm gauged needle. During the first application the amount of i-PRF will be standardized as 4 mL and injected through intra-ligamental into the disto-buccal and disto-palatal side of the canine tooth (2 mL for each side) and at the time of second intervention i.e 8th week form the baseline intramucosal injection will be administered equidistant from the maxillary canine and second premolar, 2ml on buccal side and 2ml on palatal side) after anesthetizing the region with local anesthesia (2% Lignocaine).
CONTROLPlatelet rich fibrinOn control side saline was injected using a 27 mm gauged needle. During the first application the saline was injected through intra-ligamental into the disto-buccal and disto-palatal side of the canine tooth (2 mL for each side) and at the time of second intervention i.e 8th week form the baseline intramucosal injection will be administered equidistant from the maxillary canine and second premolar, 2ml on buccal side and 2ml on palatal side) after anesthetizing the region with local anesthesia (2% Lignocaine).
