Guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures, employing nonvital bone grafting materials and membranes, were developed to counteract the significant resorption of alveolar bone following tooth extraction. Alloplastic graft material, consisting of pure phase of -tricalcium phosphate -TCP) in the preservation of ridge volume after tooth extraction and before dental implant placement, is a well-accepted procedure. The healing potential of platelet growth factors has generated interest in using plateletrich fibrin (PRF) in ridge preservation procedures. In the present case report, -TCP bone graft was combined with PRF utilizing the principles of guided bone regeneration to build the damaged edentulous ridge to receive dental implant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
