Effect of Biphasic Bone Graft Material (BGM) in Combination With Autologous Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF) on Bone Regeneration in an Odontogenic Maxillary Cyst: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Odontogenic cysts are the most common form of cystic lesions that affect the oral and maxillofacial region. Their origin, mechanism of growth, as well as treatment problems have been often discussed.

Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a second generation platelet concentrate first developed in France by Choukron et al in 2001, prepared from centrifuged autologous blood. It is a fibrin clot rich in platelets without addition of bovine thrombin, calcium chloride or anticoagulant during preparation thus eliminating the risks associated with the use of thrombin. Platelet rich fibrin is derived from a natural and progressive polymerization occurring centrifugation. A progressive or relatively slow polymerization mode may increase incorporation of the circulating cytokines in the fibrin meshes which are then released in a relatively long-term and controllable way which in turn will help in soft tissue healing and accelerated bone regeneration.

Blood Derivatives Enhancing Bone Regeneration:

1-Fibrin glue: It is classically described as a two component mixture in which concentrated fibrinogen factor XIII and fibronectin are added to thrombin ,calcium choloride and an inhibitor of fibrinolysis to form a fibrin clot .

Shortcomings:
