The need to improve the bone regeneration has led to the emergence of various methods to achieve it, but the high cost of these materials has limited their use. In recent years it has been implemented the use of inexpensive and non-toxic biomaterials, emerging the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) as a safe and profitable in the bone regenerative treatment. The aim of this investigation was to analyze bone regeneration in post-extraction socket with the use of PRP. It was performed an analytical experimental study, prospective and longitudinal. There were taken into account 15 post-extraction sockets of male and female patients, aged between 18 and 55 years old. After the extraction was made it was applied PRP in the alveolus, and successive radiographic controls were conducted: immediate postoperative, at 4 and 16 weeks post-surgery. The radiographic images were studied with ImageJ ® program, which recorded the changes in the socket. Radiographically, the process of bone regeneration was categorized in the range of moderate bone regeneration at 4 weeks, while at 16 weeks ostensible regeneration was achieved after application of PRP.esPlatelet-rich plasmaRegeneration (biology)MedicineDentistryDental alveolusExtraction (chemistry)Surgeryarticle
