Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal lesions are the inflammatory process in the pulpal tissues resulting from accumulation of dental plaque on the external root surfaces. The treatment for primary endo lesions involves nonsurgical root canal therapy and appropriate restorative care. In these cases, periodontal intervention is not necessary, and outcomes for these teeth are quite predictable. An online survey link formulated in google forms containing 16 questions respective to the study were circulated online. The responses were collected and were statistically analyzed using chi square analysis in SPSS software and the results were depicted in the form of graphs and pie charts. From the study conducted, we may see that the majority of the respondents were aware of what platelet derivatives are and how they can be applied in periapical surgeries. Most of the respondents were very well aware of how the platelet derivatives are obtained. The respondents were also aware of the side effects of prolonged use of platelet derivatives. Majority of the chi square analysis graphs showed p<0.05 which indicates statistical significance
