Implant Placement after Sinus Augmentation with Hydroxyapatite Bone Graft and Platelet Rich Fibrin Membrane Closure: A Report of 2 Cases

“…Studies have shown that PRF has greater osteogenic ability, involves a simple preparation process, is devoid of extrinsic biological agents, and has sustained release of growth factors [5]. Previous studies have revealed the potential of PRF to promote endosinus bone regeneration [3,4] and to reduce healing time after sinus floor elevation [5]. In our case bone height and density were significantly improved with the use of hydroxyapatite and PRF membrane.…”

“…The sinus augmentation procedure provides a way to increase the amount of available bone and the placement of longer implants [1].The advantage of using Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is that it has increased osteogenic ability, a simple preparation process, absence of extrinsic biological agents, and sustained release of growth factors [2].There are many studies conducted to reveal the potential of PRF to promote endosinusbone regeneration [3], [4]and to reduce healing time after sinus floor elevation [5].…”

Regenerative potential of leucocyte‐ and platelet‐rich fibrin. Part B: sinus floor elevation, alveolar ridge preservation and implant therapy. A systematic review

“…Tajima et al. (2013) found a bone gain of 10.4 mm ± 1.2 at 1‐year follow‐up. They all concluded that L‐PRF as a sole filling material could promote natural bone regeneration producing dense bone‐like tissue, at least when implants are placed simultaneously.…”

“…(2011) and Tajima et al. (2013) evaluated the effectiveness of L‐PRF as a sole graft material in SFE with simultaneous implant placement. In the first two articles, a bone gain of 7.5 mm (SD not mentioned) and 10.1 mm ± 0.9 mm, respectively, at 6 months was reported.…”

Bone neoformation in defects treated with fibrin platelet rich membrane versus collagen membrane: a histomorphometric study in rabbit’s femurs.

“…Now, there are some studies in the field of dentistry evaluating PRF membrane for treating gingival recession [22][23][24] , the effect of the membrane as a biomaterial in periodontal defects 25,26 , or as graft material for lifting the floor of the maxillary sinus 16,27,28 . In all these cases, the PRF membrane had a successful performance and proved to be a safe technique for inducing rapid epithelization, collagen formation and reducing inflammation, thereby accelerating the healing process at the level of soft and bone tissue.…”
