Summary
The platelet rich plasma is a differential centrifugation product of the blood, getting a high concentration of platelets (600.000 to 1.500.000 x mm3), which when combined with calcium chloride begins its activation, resulting in cell regeneration. It is currently in aesthetic and surgical procedures. Dental implant has effectiveness over 92%, and decreases the time for rehabilitation, reducing bone resorption after extraction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with PRP in dental implant surgery. We conducted a systematic review whose methodology was to review randomized clinical trials of the subject. We searched PUBMED, Lylacs, Blackwell and Ebsco, the Cochrane Library and books. We considered the following selection’s criteria: over 18 years, candidates for dental implant rehabilitation treatment, without significant systemic changes. The strategy is summarized in the following: Identify the problem, identification of search terms, systematic search, selection of articles by using critical thinking guides, Incorporation of information to REVMAN, Sensitivity analysis of the articles, analysis of bias and Meta analysis. We conclude that the mixture of platelet affluent plasma can induce a stronger reaction of bone around the implant
KEY WORDS: platelet rich plasma, dental implants, scarring.
