Abstract :
Bone volume is one of the key factors to be considered when evaluating implant placement. When the bone volume is insufficient,
implant placement could be conditioned by the necessity of preforming bone grafting procedures to compensate bone loss. Various
grafting procedures can be used with different bone substitute. Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix (MPM) is one of these grafting
materials, used to maintain or regenerate the socket’s volume. In MPM, the autologous blood products highly concentrated in
platelets and fibrin in a liquid state are combined with a bone substitute. The fibrin can become bound to bone particles. The filling
material is easy to shape and a PRF-type membrane is also generated. In the present case we report the application of MPM in two
sites presenting bone crest defects when placing implant in those areas.
