Abstract

In cases with persisting periapical symptoms and infections, periradicular surgery like apicoectomy is a requisite. The need for the biological modulators which can induce repair and regeneration led to the development of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) which enhances soft tissue and bone healing. This case report highlights the advantages of using PRF for promoting healing of hard and soft tissues during periradicular surgery. PRF showed promising results by reducing post-operative healing period in a large bony lesion.
