Aim: The current investigation aimed to evaluate the crestal bone loss after placement of bone graft around the oral implant with/without platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
Materials and methods: Forty patients seeking for crown supported by dental implants to replace at least one lost tooth were included in the present study. The participants were divided into two groups at random (n = 20): Group I: Received tricalcium phosphate (TCP) along with PRP and group II: Received TCP without PRP. Digital radiographs were used to quantify the crestal bone levels on the mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual side of each implant after surgery, also at 3 months and 6 months follow-up period. Data were recorded and subjected to statistical analysis.
Results: After 3 months, the crestal bone level in TCP with PRP group, mesial side was 1.02 ± 0.18, distal was 1.14 ± 0.11, buccal was 1.18 ± 0.12 and lingual was 1.16 ± 0.16. In only TCP group, mesial side was 1.14 ± 0.02, distal was 1.24 ± 0.10, buccal was 1.38 ± 0.12 and lingual was 1.30 ± 0.08. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups. After 6 months, the crestal bone level in TCP with PRP group, mesial side was 1.26 ± 0.02, distal was 1.38 ± 0.14, buccal was 1.44 ± 0.09, and lingual was 1.52 ± 0.12. In only TCP group, mesial side was 1.40 ± 0.10, distal was 1.56 ± 0.12, buccal was 1.62 ± 0.06, and lingual was 1.84 ± 0.04. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups at 3 and 6 months.
Conclusion: On conclusion, considerable crestal bone loss was observed in both treatment regimens. But TCP bone graft with PRP group found decreased bone loss around the dental implants than only TCP bone graft group.
Clinical significance: The most important aspects of controlling crestal bone loss are choosing the right implant design and bone transplant materials. Also, platelet-rich fibrin plays an important role in accelerating the healing process, improving bone regeneration, and repairing as it contains a high amount of growth factors and inflammatory chemicals.
