Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in implants dentistry in combination with new bone regenerative flapless technique: evolution of the technique and final results

Abstract

Most common techniques for alveolar bone augmentation are guided bone regeneration (GBR) and autologous bone grafting. GBR studies demonstrated long-term reabsorption using heterologous bone graft. A general consensus has been achieved in implant surgery for a minimal amount of 2 mm of healthy bone around the implant.
