Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In your CBC everything is normal including MPV. The normal MPV is 7.5-11.5, and that is mild elevation which won't cause any harm.

Usually, MPV is elevated in conditions where platelets are regenerating. Platelets are increased in reactive conditions like fever (except viral fever).

During your oral surgery, mild loss of blood levels to the regeneration of platelets and leads to mild elevation of MPV.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
