Introduction. Growth factors are mediators regulating the key processes of
tissue regeneration, including cell proliferation and differentiation,
extracellular matrix synthesis, chemotaxis and angiogenesis. In addition to
the role they play in haemostasis and inflammatory processes, thrombocytes
are of major importance in the reparation of mineralized and soft tissues.
Application of fibrin rich blocks with concentrated growth factors is one of
the latest approaches to guided bone regeneration and augmentation of lost
bony structures of the alveolar ridge. Case report. This paper presents a
case of a female patient who underwent reconstruction of the defect of
residual alveolar ridge of the upper jaw by applying fibrin rich blocks with
concentrated growth factors and subsequent placement of two titanium
endosteal implants five months after wound healing. Conclusion. The loss of a
single tooth or several teeth sometimes entails the augmentation of lost bony
structures in order to provide optimal conditions for dental implant
placement and subsequent prosthetic rehabilitation. A range of contemporary
surgical procedures and a variety of dental materials for reconstruction of
bony defects of the upper and lower jaws are available nowadays. The method
described in this paper, i.e. the application of concentrated growth factors
is one of the latest approaches which poses no risk of transmissible and
allergic diseases and is at the same time cost effective.
