Abstract
-
Platelet-rich plasma is an autologous source of platelet-derived growth factor and transforming growth factor beta that is obtained by sequestering and concentrating platelets by gradient density centrifugation. We have used platelet-rich plasma for bone graft, especially allobone graft, at implant surgery, sinus lift procedure, and cyst enucleation. This article is retrospective study from October 1999 to November 2000. All cases were good healing and clinical success.
