A split mouth clinico-radiographic comparative study for evaluation of crestal bone and peri-implant soft tissue in immediately loaded one piece implants with and without platelet rich plasma bioactivation.

This study evaluated the viability of platelet rich plasma on enhancement of osseous and associated soft tissue healing around single piece implants, subjected to immediate loading and to compare it with control site that is not treated with PRP. Total of 20 completely edentulous patients were selected and 2 one piece implant with o ball head were place for mandibular overdenture. Implant on the right side was treated with PRP whereas left side implant acted as control. All cases were immediately loaded and marginal bone loss, probing depth, percussion, implant mobility, peri-implantitis was assessed and compared at 3, 6,9,12 months. Overall analysis of study showed less marginal bone loss, probing depth, percussion, implant mobility, peri-implantitis around implants treated with PRP, however statistically the results were insignificant. PRP can be used as a viable treatment adjunct in immediately loaded one piece implants.
