Regeneración ósea post extracción de remanente radicular mediante la aplicación de plug y membrana de fibrina rica en plaquetas (FRP). Reporte de un caso clínico

Abstract

Tooth extraction is a frequent treatment in the field of dentistry that results in the reabsorption of the alveolar bone, which is why different techniques have been developed for its regeneration. Plate- let-rich fibrin (PRF) is defined as a second-generation platelet concentrate composed of leukocytes, platelets, cytokines and growth factors obtained by centrifugation of the patient’s blood that favors tissue regeneration after its application in surgeries such as the exodontics. A root remnant was extracted with the application of a plug and FRP membrane, the postoperative evaluation was ca- rried out one week, two months and four months after the surgical intervention. The objective of the study is to evaluate the influence of platelet-rich fibrin on bone regeneration of the dental alveolus by means of two cone beam computed tomography scans and a periapical radiograph, postoperative pain and wound healing. The tomographic and radiographic findings show that the application of FRP favors the bone regeneration of the post extraction alveolus.
