Abstract

Early implant stability and crestal bone preservation remain critical challenges for successful maxillary implant placement in D3 bone density, requiring effective adjunctive therapies. This study compared 30 maxillary implants across PRF-assisted and control groups, evaluating implant stability quotient (ISQ) values and crestal bone alterations over two months post-placement. The PRF group demonstrated significantly higher ISQ values and minimal crestal bone loss compared to controls (p < 0.05), indicating enhanced early osseointegration. PRF effectively supported implant primary stability while preserving surrounding bone architecture during the critical initial healing phase. These findings establish PRF as a valuable adjunctive therapy for optimizing early outcomes in challenging maxillary D3 bone conditions.
