THE USE OF INJECTABLE PLATELET RICH FIBRIN IN CONJUNCTION TO GUIDED BONE REGENERATION FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF WELL CONTAINED RIDGE DEFECT AT THE TIME OF EXTRACTION

Abstract

Background: Osseous defects resulting from periodontitis or from prior extracted teeth can complicate implant placement and/or restorative treatment. Grafting of these sites can develop better ridge morphology for implant placement or to support either fixed or removable prosthetics.
