TL;DR
Using RST for socket sealing achieves comparable bone preservation to the GBR in severe defect molars, while simplifying the surgical procedure and reducing costs.
In edentulous maxilla with insufficient bone width, both the association of i-PRF+DBBM and DBBM alone were effective in providing bone width gain for implant placement, and the association of DBBM with i-PRF showed similar outcomes compared with DBBM alone for the studied parameters.
Within the limitations of this study, intentionally exposing the xenogeneic collagen matrix seal yielded comparable outcomes in non-contained and contained sockets, which may reflect the material's ability to reduce the adverse effects of socket-wall resorption.
T-PRF was associated with improved radiographic healing of extraction sockets, as reflected by a lower residual non-ossified socket volume after 3 months compared with spontaneous healing, which may represent a simple, autologous, and clinically useful adjunct for socket preservation prior to implant placement.
Adequate peri-implant soft tissue thickness and keratinized mucosa width are crucial for implant health and aesthetics. Autogenous subepithelial connective tissue grafts (CTG) are the gold-standard for augmenting thin biotypes, but they require a second surgical site. This trial evaluated whether a human fascia lata al...
The combined application of guided regeneration, connective tissue grafting (CTG), and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) presents a minimally invasive and biologically orientated technique that improves outcomes for both hard and soft tissues.
Both study groups showed a statistically significant increase in bone width at 6 months, with the highest increase observed in group A2 (ABG + rhBMP-2), with the highest increase observed in group A2 (ABG + rhBMP-2).
