Background: Immediate implant placement after tooth extraction has been found to be a workable and reliable treatment for tooth loss based on clinical and radiographic evaluation. Aim: This study was conducted for comparative evaluation of immediate implant placement in fresh extraction socket with and without the use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Materials and Method: Forty sites in all were chosen, and they were split into two groups at random. Twenty of these were placed immediately with PRF (test category), while the remaining 20 were placed immediately without the use of any comparable adjunct (control group). Using cone beam computed tomography, radiographic characteristics were evaluated both at the time of implant implantation and a year later. Results: The crestal bone at the mesial surface was 2.74 ± 1.44 and 1.96 ± 1.41 mm at baseline and 12-month follow-up in the control group. The crestal bone at the mesial surface was 2.93 ± 1.44 and 2.57 ± 1.57 mm at baseline and 12-month follow-up in the test group. Conclusion: Immediate implant placement in fresh extraction socket showed better results with the use of PRF.
