COMPARISON OF THE USE OF FIBRIN ENRICHED WITH PLATELETS ALONE AND WITH Β-TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE IN IMPLANTOLOGY

Abstract

Filling existing cavities has an important role in implantology. Therefore, numerous studies have examined different types of
replacement materials and their influence on wound healing. In this study, with a total of 5 cases, we examined the use of standard PRF (platelet rich fibrin) alone or in combination with synthetic beta-tri-calcium phosphate (β-TCP) and their effect on the healing process at the extraction site and in immediate implantation. The following success criteria were used: absence of signs of inflammation, clinical healing of the wound, and filling of the cavity determined by X-ray. The results of our research determined that the X-ray cavity filled over 4 months, with good healing of the soft tissue and without clinical and radiological signs of inflammation. The combination of PRF and β-TCP also showed good signs of healing with osseoinductive and osseoconductive properties.
However, further monitoring of progress will show whether there is a complete conversion to new bone or not. Additional research, as well as improvement of the material, will certainly affect the range of indications and give more precise answers to this topic.
