Combination of Platelet Rich Fibrin with Hydroxyapatite in Treating a Large Periapical lesion-Case Report of Young Patient
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 8
Abstract
The primary goal of any dental treatment is the maintenance of the natural dentition in health and for optimum function, and esthetics. Successful treatment for periapical lesion depends on removal of lesion along with causative microorganisms. In cases where conventional root canal therapy fails to eliminate the lesion surgery is the last alternative. Peri-apical surgery aims to eliminate the pathology and thus aims to achieve complete wound healing. There have been many attempts to devise a wonder material which can achieve healing and regeneration and platelet rich fibrin is one such material. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a wonderful tissue engineering product and has gained much popularity due to its promising results in wound healing bone induction. The platelets release growth factors which lead to rapid healing and regeneration. Along with the addition of hydroxyapatite this combination can achieve regeneration and repair in no time. This case report illustrates the use of this combination in a 16- year- old male for better and faster healing.
