Background: Different augmentation techniques are used in maxillofacial surgery to recover lost bone structures. Recent studies have suggested a new combination between bone graft materials and injectable Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (i-PRF) for bone augmentation.
Aim: The aim of this case report is to assess the possibility of combination of
bone graft material and injectable platelet-rich-fibrin (i-PRF) for extraction socket of impacted mandibular premolar.
Materials and methods: An 22 year-old female with impacted 44 was treated with grafting of extraction socket using hydroxyapatite and injectable platelet–rich-fibrin (i-PRF). Patient was reviewed 3 months after the grafting.
Results: The postoperative period was uneventful. OPG showed adequate healing of the socket.
Conclusion: The successful clinical and radiographic result of the case suggest that using i-PRF can be beneficial for healing of extraction sockets.
