Description
Background This pilot case study aimed at evaluating the possibility of achieving optimal hard and soft tissue regeneration using plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) and anorganic bovine bone (ABB) for the surgical treatment of a large through-and-through periapical bone lesion. Case report Maxillary incisors of a patient with throughand- through periapical lesion of endodontic origin were treated using modern endodontic surgical technique with the adjunct of PRGF. The PRGF clot was positioned over the palatal side of the lesion while the remaining bone defect was grafted with PRGF and ABB. A collagen membrane embedded with plasma very rich in growth factors covered the graft. Post-operative pain and swelling were negligible, and soft tissue healing was very fast. Oneyear clinical and radiographic outcome showed complete healing and functionality. Discussion The addition of PRGF to ABB could improve the regenerative process, reducing postoperative symptoms and resulting in a fast and predictable hard and soft tissue healing.
