Intrabony Defect Treated with Platelet-Rich Fibrin: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has gained recommendable importance for predictably obtaining periodontal regeneration. The purpose of this case report is to present clinical and radiographic results of an intrabony periodontal defect treated with PRF. A 36-year-old Indian male presented with an intrabony periodontal defect in relation to 41. The probing pocket depth (PPD) on mesial proximal aspect was 9 mm and clinical attachment level (CAL) was 12 mm. On surgical treatment with bone graft and autologous PRF, one-year follow up revealed a significant reduction in PPD and CAL gain as well as radiographic bone formation, supporting the role of various growth factors present in the PRF in accelerating the soft and hard tissue healing. From the presented case, it can be concluded that PRF is clinically and radiographically efficacious regenerative material in the treatment of a periodontal intrabony defect.
