Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chencev IL et al. (2017) [15] | 1 | 18 | Male | Alveolar ridge augmentation |
i-PRF | Bone graft material (nd) | 1 | It revealed successful augmentation of the alveolar ridge. The dental implant was placed in the area of tooth 11 |
| Cortellini S et al. (2018) [9] | 10 | 50.7 | Nd | Bone augmentation procedures | L-PRF | Deproteinized bovine bone mineral | 15 | “Significant horizontal ridge augmentation was obtained with L-PRF Block. The resorption rate of the graft was very low, which allowed implant placement in all cases.” |
| Andrade C et al. (2020) [16] | 4 | 54 | Female | Alveolar ridge preservation | L-PRF | Dentin particles | 10 | “…dentin block was able to promote new bone formation, without host tissue reactions, and a favorable dentin resorption/bone formation rate. All patients demonstrated an adequate amount and quality of bone for implant placement.” |
