Abstract

Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of PRF on bone density after immediate implant placement and loading in the esthetic zone.
Introuduction:
The present study was conducted to evaluate bone density using CBCT around immediately placed and loaded implants with the addition of PRF in the esthetic zone.The patients were selected from the out patient Dental Implant Clinic Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University, based on inclusion and exlusion criteria.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:
Patients were divided in to two equal groups:
Group A: Immediate implant placement and loading with PRF in jumping gap at site of unrestorable extracted teeth in esthetic zone.
Group B: Immediate implant placement and loading without PRF in jumping gap at site of unrestorable extracted teeth in esthetic zone.
After implant placement and loading CBCTs were taken at 0,3,6,9 month. Bone density was measured at 0, 3, 6, 9 month for both groups. The collected results were tabulated and statistically analyzed.
Results:
The results of this study showed that the PRF group had higher bone density and there was statistically significant difference between (PRF) and (no PRF) groups in bone density values in 3,6 and 9 months intervals.
