| Abstract | ||
| Aim: To evaluate the efficiency of using platelet rich fibrin (PRF) in small chronic periapical lesions with simultaneous immediate implant placement in maxillary anterior esthetic region. Patients and Methods: Seven cases with small size periapical lesions in the upper anterior aesthetic zone need immediate implantation were selected. After flapless tooth extraction and curettage of the lesion, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) was applied in the bony defect and TIXOS implant was inserted simultaneously. CBCT was used immediately and 6 months post implantation to evaluate the mean of bone density in the defect area. Results: There was increase in the mean of bone density after six months post implantation and it was statistical significant. Conclusions: Platelet-rich fibrin in patients with chronic periapical lesions allow proper bone healing with immediate implant placement in maxillary anterior aesthetic zone. | ||
