Evaluation of New Bone Formation in Sinus Floor Augmentation With Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin–Soaked Collagen Plug

Platelet-rich plasma activity on maxillary sinus floor augmentation by autologous bone.

OBJECTIVES This work aims to evaluate the regenerative potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on an implant site of peculiar clinical impact, such as sinus augmentation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixteen consenting patients (11 females and five males), with symmetrical maxillary sinus atrophy, underwent bilateral sinus floor augmentation, using autologous (iliac crest) bone on one side and PRP pl...

Does platelet-rich plasma promote remodeling of autologous bone grafts used for augmentation of the maxillary sinus floor?

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on remodeling of autologous bone grafts used for augmentation of the floor of the maxillary sinus. In five edentulous patients suffering from insufficient retention of their upper denture related to a severely resorbed maxilla, the floor of both maxillary sinus was augmented with an autologous bone graft from the ili...

Bone formation in a long bone defect model using a platelet-rich plasma-loaded collagen scaffold.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a platelet concentrate made of autogenous blood, has been used in recent years to improve bone defect healing particularly in maxillofacial reconstructions. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of PRP on new bone formation in a critical diaphyseal long bone defect. A critical size defect (2.5 cm) in the tibial diaphysis of 16 sheep was supplied eithe...

Sinus floor elevation using platelet-rich plasma and beta-tricalcium phosphate: case report and histological evaluation.

Effect of platelet-rich plasma with autogenous bone graft for maxillary sinus augmentation in a rabbit model.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on autogenous bone graft remodeling during sinus augmentation in a rabbit model. MATERIALS Twelve New Zealand White rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups based on their time of sacrifice (2, 4, and 8 weeks). All animals underwent a general anesthetic and harvesting of an autogenous bone graft from the right iliac crest with su...
