Abstract: Platelet-rich plasma has been used as a vehicle for growing factors potentially increasing the natural process of regeneration and cicatrisation and bone and soft tissue growth.
The process to obtain platelet-rich plasma is achieved by the separation and concentration of platelets.
The traditional method presents various disadvantages therefore we propose a platelet-rich plasma technique that can be done in private practice due to its easy execution, non specific equipment and trained staff. This technique is not expensive and can bring great benefit to the patient. It is also presented a clinical case where this technique was applied.

Excelência Clínica em Implantodontia – Capítulo 13
A reabilitação da função orofacial de pacientes parcial e totalmente edêntulos, antes do advento do conceito da osseointegração, era efetuada com próteses removíveis. Em 1965, foram usados pela primeira vez implantes osseointegráveis para tratar pacientes edêntulos.
As técnicas de osseointegração para reabilitação maxilar são mais complexas que as de reabilitação mandibular, devido à proximidade das cavidades nasais e seios maxilares, ao grau de reabsorção óssea maxilar (em particular na região posterior por exodontias precoces, pneumatização dos seios maxilares) e à qualidade do osso maxilar, mais vascularizado e menos denso que o osso mandibular.1 Os pacientes com disponibilidade óssea maxilar adequada são excepções, a maioria apresenta graus de atrofia diferentes que obrigam ao recurso de técnicas alternativas de uso do osso existente (p. ex., implante pterigoide), recurso de enxertos ósseos autógenos ou aloplásticos (p. ex., enxertos ósseos onlay na maxila, enxertos ósseos do seio maxilar) ou técnicas osseogênicas de distracção (p. ex., fratura maxilar Le Fort I).
Implantes Zygoma – Limites de Reabilitação
A reabilitação da maxila edêntula extremamente atrófica, comporta um grande desafio cirúrgico e protético, para os profissionais que se dedicam a esta área.
