AB - Background: On the basis of animal histologic data and randomized controlled trials, the authors provide
reports of two cases, in which platelet-rich plasma (PRP) alone was used to treat periodontal endosseous
defects in patients exhibiting generalized severe chronic periodontitis.
Case Descriptions: Clinicians treated endosseous defects with a probing pocket depth of 6 and 8
millimeters (case 1), and 4 mm (case 2) by using PRP alone. At six months, complete periodontal pocket
resolution, and significant clinical attachment gain and radiographic defect fill, compared with pre-surgical
values, occurred in all defects.
Clinical Implications: PRP alone may be clinically and radiographically efficacious in the treatment of
periodontal endosseous defects.
