About this video

The reconstruction of atrophic alveolar ridges using Autologous Onlay Bone Grafting (AOBG) remains the gold standard for bone grafting, as it possesses all essential properties: osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction. Intraoral donor sites, such as the mandibular ramus, provide high-quality bone, easy surgical access, rapid healing, and minimal morbidity. For optimal integration of the graft, additional elements such as Growth Factors (GFs) play a crucial role in tissue regeneration. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a cost-effective source of GFs, widely used for both soft and hard tissue repair. Additionally, Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP) contains fibrinogen and GFs, serving as a biological membrane to cover the augmented area and donor sites filled with bone substitutes saturated in PRP.
