Platelet-rich fibrin - an autologous alternative in osseous regeneration after cystectomy
Journal Title: Medicine in Evolution - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) created by Choukroun's protocol concentrates most platelets from a blood harvest into a single autologous biomaterial. However, no current data is available concerning the use of PRF for the treatment of follicular cyst. A case of a large mandibular follicular cyst was reported. After cyst enucleation, the bony defect was grafted using PRF clots and a membrane of PRF was applied to serve as a membrane over the grafted defect. Recall showed completely healing of the bony defect, one year after surgery. These results suggested that PRF may be beneficial to enhance bone regeneration.
