Periodontal regeneration is defined as the reproduction or reconstitution of a lost or injured part to restore the architecture and function of the periodontium. The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to regenerate the lost periodontal tissues caused by periodontitis. Vertical bone loss is more amenable for regenerative therapy which can be achieved through delivery of growth factors along bone substitutes. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is considered as second generation platelet concentrate, consisting of viable platelets, releasing various growth factors. This article includes case report of a patient who showed infrabony defect which was treated with combining PRF with allograft.to investigate the clinical and radiological (bone fill) effectiveness of autologous PRF along with the use of allograft bone.
