Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of PRP in regeneration of bone in defects of the oral and maxillofacial region. Methods: A comparative nonrandomized study including 40 patients with bony defects of cystic origin in the maxillofacial region was carried out in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Patients were divided into two groups: group A received PRP and in group B PRP was not used. Postoperatively, the patients were monitored regularly by radiographs to evaluate new bone growth at 1st ,3rd and 6th month clinically and radiographically. Results: Faster bone healing in was observed in the patients in whom PRP was used at every follow up. Conclusion: Defects filled with PRP showed comparatively earlier and faster bone regeneration.
