MATERIAL AND METHODS A randomized controlled trail conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, PIMS, Islamabad from 01 November 2017 to 30 July 2019 to compare the frequency of alveolar osteitis with and without use of Platelet-rich fibrin after mandibular third molar removal. The Data was analyzed by using SPSS Version 22.0. Mean and standard deviation were used for quantitative variables like patient’s age. Frequency and percentage were calculated for qualitative variables.

RESULTS The mean age of participants were 23.58 ± 3.21 with majority (96.4%) having age of 25 years, in which majority (65.2%) were female patients. Dry Socket reported in 18.0% patients.
