Aims: This study aims to demonstrate the bone regeneration in the periapical region using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (NcHA) with collagen in combination with PRF and their effects on healing in periapical tissues.
Subjects and Methods: Fourteen patients (15 surgical sites) were selected and distributed into three groups: Group I – Replacement with PRF, Group II – Replacement with PRF and NcHA with collagen bone graft (SYBO GRAF – C, Eucare pharmaceuticals ltd., Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India), and Group III – Control group. In all the three groups, patient recall visits were scheduled after 1-, 3-, and 6-month time interval for clinical and radiological examination. Radiovisiography image was analyzed using RADIANT Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine VIEWER.
Results: A significantly higher rate of healing was observed after 6 months in Group II (100%) followed by Group I (92%) and Group III (86%).
Conclusion: It was concluded that combination of PRF and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite with collagen produced a significantly faster bone regeneration. The conventional technique and PRF were less predictable with its healing response. |
