Abstract: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a reconstructive procedure of alveolar ridge using membranes. Combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with bone graft materials has been advocated as a means of enhancing rate and quality of new bone formation in regenerative procedures. This procedure is indicated when there is no sufficient bone for implantation, or in the case of optimal implant installation for esthetic or functional needs. The aim of this case report was to evaluate the potential of PRP in combination with Demineralized bone matrix(DMBM) along with membrane to enhance bone regeneration in an siebert’s class III alveolar ridge defect .
