SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF RADICULAR CYST AND USE OF PRF AND BONE GRAFT FOR ENDODONTIC REGENERATION - A CASE REPORT
Krishna Prasada Lashkari, Vasundhara V, Mohit Khandelwal

Periapical surgery is required when periradicular pathosis associated with endodontically treated teeth which cannot be resolved by nonsurgical root canal therapy (retreatment), or when retreatment has been unsuccessful, not feasible or contraindicated. PRF has many advantages over platelet-rich plasma as it provides a physiologic architecture that is very favorable to the healing process, which is obtained due to the slow polymerization process. Being a rich source of growth factors, platelet rich fibrin (PRF) possess many advantages in bone regeneration. This paper discusses the clinical report of A periapical endodontic surgery which was performed on a 20 year old female patient with a sinus opening in the upper front teeth region and a large bony defect radiologically. The surgical defect was filled with a combination of PRF and HA bone graft crystals and sutured. Clinical examination revealed uneventful wound healing. The purpose of this case report is to present an attempt to evaluate the healing potential of the combination of PRF and Hydroxyapatite bone graft.
Key words: Radicular Cyst, Enucleation, PRF, Growth Factor, Wound Healing, Bone Graft.
