Bone Healing in Immediate Dental Implants

Effect of PRP on Bone Healing in Immediate Implants Analyzed by CBCT

To study the effect of platelet-rich plasma concentrate on marginal bone loss and bone mineral density in immediate implant placement through CBCT.

12 subjects were equally categorized into two groups. Group, I was the control group; whereas, the subjects in Group II received Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. All subjects were given a standard treatment with single implant system. Inserted implants were analyzed through Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT). Records were registered at the baseline, at 12th week before functional loading and 26th week after functional loading.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients maintaining good oral hygiene, having adequate bone quantity at the implant site, uneventful extraction

Exclusion Criteria:

• Active infection around implant site, immunocompromised state, with current major systemic disease (uncontrolled diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) or oral pathologies, history of bleeding disorders or on anticoagulant therapy, or patients on bisphosphonates were excluded from the study
