Abstract:
The degree of crestal bone loss surrounding dental implants (mare than 0.2 mm) significantly affects their success rate. So, the crestal bone loss surrounding dental implants following the implantation of platelet concentrates and beta-tricalcium phosphate bone grafts was compared. In 100 subjects, two implants each were placed in edentulous spaces where one implant site of Group I was filled with β-Tricalcium Phosphate Bone Graft along (β-TCP) with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and for Group II only β-Tricalcium Phosphate Bone Graft along (β-TCP) was placed in posterior edentulous area and followed for 3, 6 and 9 months using periapical radiographs. In both groups, the highest mean crestal bone loss was highest on the lingual side of the implant. Adding PRP (platelet rich plasma) to beta tricalcium phosphate helps in reduced bone loss in dental implants.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Spongy Bone
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
