Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) using a combined injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), and biocompatible bone substitute material, is a convenient and effective method to augment a combined vertical and horizontal bone defect. This approach can create sufficient bone quality and quantity for implant surgical sites. A 55-year-old Asian woman presented with a severe bone defect in posterior mandible. The edentulous mandibular alveolar ridge was severely resorbed vertically and horizontally. A GBR procedure using i-PRF and L-PRF combined with particulate bone graft was performed. Postoperative cone beam computed tomography scans, 8 months after the augmentation, revealed a large regeneration of the alveolar bone sufficient for implant placement. A combination i-PRF/L-PRF and particulate bone graft may provide biologically active molecules and a scaffold for osteogenesis. This treatment protocol may be a viable option for a large bone defect required augmentation before implant placement.
