USE OF L-PRF IN PROTOCOL SURGERY: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Leukocyte and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) is an autologous concentrate used to promote tissue regeneration in dental surgical procedures. L-PRF is obtained by centrifuging blood without anticoagulants, resulting in a fibrin matrix that gradually releases growth factors. This work presents a clinical case of implant installation with biomaterial graft associated with L-PRF in atrophic bone ridge. Thus, the objective of this study is to report the case of an implant surgery in a 53-year-old female patient who underwent the installation of six implants in the maxilla. Due to the thin bone thickness and the need for maxillary sinus lift in the regions of elements 15 and 16, biomaterial combined with L-PRF was used to fill the bone cavity. The L-PRF was obtained by centrifuging the patient’s blood and applied in the implant region. The procedure resulted in clinical success, with good healing and osseointegration of the implants. L-PRF proved to be an effective method for accelerating bone consolidation around the implants and promoting tissue healing, being a viable alternative in cases of atrophic bone ridges.
