Comparison of the use of fibrin enriched with platelets alone and withβ-tricalcium phosphate in implantology<b/>

Filling existing cavities has an important role in implantology. Therefore, numerous studies have examined different types ofreplacement materials and their influence on wound healing. In this study, with a total of 5 cases, we examined the use of standardPRF (platelet rich fibrin) alone or in combination with synthetic beta-tri-calcium phosphate (β-TCP) and their effect on the healingprocess at the extraction site and in immediate implantation. The following success criteria were used: absence of signs of inflammation,clinical healing of the wound, and filling of the cavity determined by X-ray. The results of our research determined thatthe X-ray cavity filled over 4 months, with good healing of the soft tissue and without clinical and radiological signs of inflammation.The combination of PRF and β-TCP also showed good signs of healing with osseoinductive and osseoconductive properties.However, further monitoring of progress will show whether there is a complete conversion to new bone or not. Additional research,as well as improvement of the material, will certainly affect the range of indications and give more precise answers to this topic.
