Management of a severely atrophic maxilla using concentrated platelet-rich fibrin block. A case report.

Tooth loss often leads to significant alveolar bone resorption, presenting a challenge for dental implant placement. This case report presents the effectiveness of concentrated platelet-rich fibrin (C-PRF) in combination with bone allograft for horizontal bone augmentation in a severely atrophic maxilla. A 33-year-old female patient with extensive bone loss in the upper anterior maxilla was treated in two stages.

The effect of recurrent application of concentrated platelet-rich fibrin inside the extraction socket on the hard and soft tissues. a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is commonly used for ridge preservation following tooth extraction. However, its effectiveness diminishes over a period of two weeks as it is resorbed and loses its biological activities. Therefore, this clinical study aims to evaluate the effect of recurrent application of concentrated PRF (C-PRF) inside the extraction socket on the hard and soft tissue alterations.

A novel technique for socket-shield preparation used in conjunction with immediate implant placement. A case report.

The socket-shield technique is considered one of the best treatment modalities that reduce the amount of facial bone loss and gingival recession following tooth extraction. However, the difficulty in preparing the shield by partial tooth extraction makes it technique-sensitive and limits its use. This case report presents a 29-year-old medically fit male patient with a destructed non-vital lateral incisor.

Clinical comparison between different surgical techniques used to manage advanced gingival recession (Miller's class III & IV).

Advanced gingival recession is considered a complex soft tissue problem, which is increased in severity with age, and has multiple etiological factors. Therefore, the treatment is very complicated with low predictability. However, in the last decade, many clinical trials have shown highly predictable results when managing advanced recession cases by surgical intervention.
