Ridge Splitting With Simultaneous Implant Placement Using i-PRF

Kafrelsheikh University22 enrolled

Overview

Sohn introduced the concept of sticky bone in which i-PRF is mixed with the granules of bone graft, leading to fabrication of growth factors-enriched bone graft matrix using autologous fibrin glue. This minimizes bone loss and accelerates tissue healing during healing period. The present study was conducted to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes following the application of the alveolar ridge splitting in combination with the use of guided bone regeneration (GBR) with or without i-PRF (sticky bone), associated with immediate implant placement in patients with horizontally atrophic jaw bones.
