A Case Report and Review of Literature on the usage of Platelet Rich Fibrin with Hydroxyapatite in An Infrabony Periodontal Defect
PLATELET RICH FIBRIN WITH HYDROXYAPATITE
Abstract
A 37-year-old male patient reported to the Department of Periodontics, with the chief complaint of pain and sensitivity on the upper right posterior tooth region for the last six months. On clinical examination, a 6 mm probing pocket was found on the distal aspect of upper first premolar. The patient was then advised regenerative periodontal therapy with appropriate debridement, biomechanical preparation and filling of the defect with autogenous platelet rich fibrin (PRF) mixed with hydroxyapatite bone graft (HA). GTR membrane was placed and sutured with vicryl. Hence, it can be suggested that treatment of intrabony defects with PRF produces substantial enhancements of clinical parameters. HA thus when added to PRF augments the regenerative properties of PRF when used for the treatment of intrabony defects in periodontal diseases.
