PRF ( Platelet rich fibrin ): An effective bone regenerating agent in a patient with Large Benign Odontogenic cyst. A case report

Abstract

Introduction

The surgical treatment for all Benign Odontogenic cyst aims to remove the pathology to obtain bone regeneration and healing. To enhance the regeneration of the tissue by using the patient's own blood is a peculiar concept in dentistry. The purpose of this case report is to point up the effectiveness of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) placement into a massive bone defect resulting from a large Benign Odontogenic cyst marsupialization. Literature suggests that 6 months to 1 year is the time taken for the complete healing of cystic lesion, however the placement of PRF in our case decreased the healing time to three months. The results of this case report reveals that PRF can be used successfully as monotherapy for obtaining complete wound healing and tissue regeneration.
