Socket Preservation at Molar Site using Platelet Rich Fibrin and Bioceramics for Implant Site Development

Abstract

Background:The extraction socket preservation technique conserves the alveolar architecture and prevents hard and soft tissue collapse that minimizes the necessity for future augmentation procedures. Also, considerable interest has recently emerged over the potential benefits of using platelet rich fibrin (PRF), a highly concentrated form of platelets power packed with growth factors encased in a leukocyte rich matrix that enhances osteogenic differentiation and bone repair. This article describes the currently improved technique utilizing alloplasts with autologous PRF to be implemented for preserving a future implant site.
