A case report of bilateral mandibular vertical guided bone regeneration with and without bovine thrombin/calcium chloride activated platelet-rich plasma.
One patient with a bilateral vertical defect was treated on one side with guided bone regeneration (GBR) and an autologous bone graft and on the contralateral side with the addition of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). At the 6-month reentry, clinically and radiographically enough bone width and height were present to allow implant placement in both sites. At the same time point, at the histologic level, no differences were noticeable. Similar results were obtained in this case in vertical bone regeneration with and without bovine thrombin/calcium chloride activated PRP applied to GBR techniques.
