Abstract: The lack of alveolar bone volume after tooth loss has always been one of the most knotty problems in dental implantation. After a long period of exploration and research, a series of classical efficient surgical methods such as autogenous bone grafting and guided bone regeneration (GBR) have emerged, which to some extent well solved this problem. GBR technology has been favored by both dentists and patients for its advantages of good predictability of osteogenesis, low long-term bone resorption rate, easy filling and shaping, no second surgical area and fewer complications. However, with the progress of science and technology, platelet concentrate has come to the fore as a new technology. With a lot of unique advantages, platelet concentrate has proven its value in tissue augmentation in dental implant field, and even challenges the classical GBR technology. This article will focus on reviewing the advantages of platelet concentrate in dental implantation, especially in tissue augmentation.

Key words: platelet concentrate, PRF, oral implantology, guided bone regeneration
