Abstract

Replacement in the esthetic zone can be very unpredictable and difficult to manage in cases with extreme bone and soft tissue loss. In this case report (2.5-year follow-up), we demonstrate that the use of platelet-rich fibrin in combination with bovine bone can result in a stable, esthetic outcome.
