Abstract

The exeresis of cystic lesions may involve some complications such as slow bone neoformation, pathological fractures, infections and dental instability. The use of platelet-rich plasma is a promising resource that has been frequently used in dental practice. It presents several benefits related to bone regeneration and tissue healing, based on concepts of tissue bioengineering. The purpose of this report is to present a case of use of platelet-rich plasma in bone cavity after cystic enucleation, followed by a period of 20-years. A male patient complaining of dental trauma and requiring endodontic treatment, presented a well-defined radiolucent image between the tooth 21 and 22, suggestive of cystic lesion. After 6 months of endodontic treatment without signs of periapical repair, enucleation of cystic capsule and detoxication of bone cavity were performed, followed by application of platelet-rich plasma (collected from the patient before the surgical procedure) with particulated bone, was inserted into the bone cavity. Patient has been assessed clinically and radiographically for 20-years, with no signals of recurrence of the lesion. Based on radiographic evidences, we can conclude that the use of platelet-rich plasma after the exeresis of the cystic lesion showed to be efficient regarding bone repair. The lesion has not regressed with conventional endodontic treatment. In this perspective, the use of platelet-rich plasma can be an alternative method with satisfactory results.
