ABSTRACT

Introduction: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as an alternative in periodontal therapy. Presently, there is an evidence-based learning curve showing a first stage when it was used as cementing biomaterial as well as bone tissue regeneration stimulant. In a second current stage based and substantiated on biological evidence, it is applied for soft tissue wounds healing. This has elicited great expectations in several medical specialties, including dentistry. Method: The case here presented is of a healthy, non-smoker, 29 year old female patient who attended the Graduate and Research School, National School of Dentistry, National University of Mexico (UNAM). Diagnosis emitted was localized aggressive periodontitis. After phase I, the patient was subjected to flap surgery with PRP and bone allograft. Results: The patient was assessed 6 and 12 months after treatment. Based on the six maintenance parameters established by Drs. Lang and Tonetti, she was classified as presenting low risk of periodontal disease recurrence. Conclusions: Today’s clinical operator increasingly understands the need of making decisions based upon scientific evidence. To the present date we recognize that it is biologically possible for a higher platelet concentration to foster healing.
