Palatoplasty Techniques Using PRF and Gentamicin-Loaded PRF in Cleft Palate

Sponsor: Al-Thawra Modern General Hospital

Summary

This prospective, randomized controlled trial evaluates the clinical efficacy of autologous Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Gentamicin-Loaded PRF as regenerative and antimicrobial biological adjuncts in primary palatoplasty. A total of 90 pediatric and adolescent patients with unilateral and bilateral complete and incomplete cleft palates will be assigned across three parallel treatment arms: standard palatoplasty alone (control), palatoplasty augmented with standard PRF, and palatoplasty augmented with gentamicin-loaded PRF. The primary objective is to compare quantitative primary mucosal healing scores, wound dehiscence rates, and the incidence of postoperative oronasal fistula formation to determine whether local gentamicin-PRF delivery significantly improves soft-tissue healing and reduces surgical breakdown

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Standard Palatoplasty Alone, Standard Palatoplasty With Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), and Standard Palatoplasty With Gentamicin-Loaded PRF for Unilateral and Bilateral Complete and Incomplete Cleft Palate Cases
