This study evaluated the effect of injectable platelet-rich derivatives on the rate of orthodontic canine retraction. Patients requiring orthodontic canine retraction following premolar extraction were enrolled and divided into three groups using a split-mouth design. Injectable platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) were applied to compare their effects on the rate of tooth movement. The outcomes were assessed by measuring the amount of canine retraction over time.
