Results of platelet rich fibrin and bone grafts in guided bone regeneration. A systematic review

Conclusion: The combination of PRF plus bone filler promotes bone neoformation, increased trabecular bones, and improved healing times; however, after 6 months of monitoring, the results were not significantly different with the groups that did not use the PRF in the procedure of maxillary sinus floor lift with lateral window technique. Regarding the preservation of alveolar ridge the different studies are not conclusive: some indicate that the mixture of a concentrate with a bone filling seems to improve the volumetric proportions; however, other studies report bone loss in width and even greater degree of inflammation.
