Abstract
Bone resorption following tooth loss is considered an obstacle for dental implant placement in desired positions, requiring bone augmentation procedures. Many techniques have been described to reconstruct horizontal alveolar ridge defects. But one of many, platelet concentrate fibrin is considered nowadays an efficient technique in oral surgery, which is based on concentrating platelets and growth factors that is activated in fibrin gel in order to improve the healing. The aim of this review was to discuss the use of PRF in oral surgery by exposing 3 clinical cases and discussing the properties in bone tissue engineering for PRF membranes, and wound healing with bone formation for Leucocyte platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) used as scaffold. In the 3 clinical cases bone maturation was found excellent at 5 months as seen clinically, on X-rays and CAT scans.
