Due to the regenerative properties of growth factors and proteins released by platelets, the development and application of platelet-enriched preparations have revolutionized the field of regenerative medicine.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty healthy participants with non-restorable mandibular teeth were divided into three groups to compare the effects of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF) combined with xenograft, advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) mixed with xenograft, and xenograft alone on post-extraction socket healing. Blood samples were centrifuged to prepare the PRF materials, which were applied immediately after tooth extraction along with the bone grafts. Clinical healing was assessed one week post-surgery using a modified healing index, while bone density and height were evaluated through standardized radiographs and CBCT scans immediately postoperatively and at intervals up to twelve\u00a0weeks. Bone\u00a0density was quantitatively analyzed using ImageJ software by segmenting the socket into specific regions and normalizing the values against background and healthy bone. Bone height measurements were standardized and adjusted to ensure accuracy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinical results demonstrated significant improvements in healing across all three groups.

Bone density measurements revealed significant differences between groups at each follow-up point, with Group B exhibiting the highest mean bone density at the first week, followed by Group A and then Group C.
