Abstract: PRF was used as a sole grafting material for surgically treatment of a 8 mm pocket around an implant that had 3 threads of bone loss, BoP, and exudate, and the patient was followed up for 1 year. Surgical treatment with the help of PRF, home care reinforcement, clinical indices records, and radiographic examination was done. The patient was monitored frequently for the first 3 months. Subsequently, maintenance visits were scheduled at 3 month intervals. The patient had a decreased probing pocket depth and a negative BoP index compared to initial clinical data, and the results were stable after a year. After 1 year of follow up visit, there appeared to be rebound of the bone level radiographically.
