Abstract

Aim

It has been proposed that platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) can be used to support bone regeneration during alveolar ridge augmentation. The aim of this study was to determine if an approach utilizing PRF provides similar performance to the established guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure.

Materials and Methods

Two-wall defects were surgically created in beagle dogs and treated in three experimental groups: (i) sticky bone (SB) substitute prepared using liquid PRF and deproteinized porcine bone mineral (DPBM), (ii) SB covered with solid PRF compressed into a membrane, and (iii) GBR performed using DPBM covered by a collagen membrane. The quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was applied to specimen after 1 week of healing, and microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and histological outcomes were analyzed after 8 weeks of healing.

Results

Compared with GBR, PRF resulted in a moderate increase in the expression levels of osteoblast and osteoclast markers, osteocalcin, and calcitonin receptor. Moreover, PRF modestly increased angiogenesis and the inflammation markers VEGF and IL-6. Micro-CT and histological analyses confirmed the expected increased alveolar ridge area, with no significant differences between the three groups. Consistently, graft consolidation as indicated by new bone formation at the defect site did not differ significantly between groups.

Conclusion

The present results demonstrate that PRF-based approaches performed comparably to the established GBR procedure in terms of the consolidation of DPBM in two-wall alveolar defects.
