Abstract

The degree of crestal bone loss surrounding dental implants (mare than 0.2 mm) significantly affects their success rate. So, the crestal bone loss surrounding dental implants following the implantation of platelet concentrates and beta-tricalcium phosphate bone grafts was compared. In 100 subjects, two implants each were placed in edentulous spaces where one implant site of Group I was filled with β-Tricalcium Phosphate Bone Graft along (β-TCP) with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and for Group II only β-Tricalcium Phosphate Bone Graft along (β-TCP) was placed in posterior edentulous area and followed for 3, 6 and 9 months using periapical radiographs. In both groups, the highest mean crestal bone loss was highest on the lingual side of the implant. Adding PRP (platelet rich plasma) to beta tricalcium phosphate helps in reduced bone loss in dental implants.
