Periodontal regeneration aims to regenerate the diseased or lost periodontium. Regenerative periodontal therapy utilises growth factors, autogenous soft and hard tissue grafts for the purpose of regeneration. Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF) is an autologous biomaterial which works on the principle of centrifugation. The injectable PRF (i-PRF) that is formed when centrifuged at low Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) produces an excellent matrix when mixed with bone graft called “sticky bone”. Sticky bone possesses the property of mouldability along with its inherent potential of bone formation. The PRF matrix also enhances the wound healing through the release of various growth factors. PRF membranes which are obtained at higher centrifugation levels also act as a substitute to augment the soft-tissues. The present case is that of a 45-year-old male, who underwent a one-year follow-up for the management of endodontic periodontal lesion in the lower left first molar with sticky bone and PRF membrane by single flap approach. The patient was periodically reviewed clinically and radiographically and prosthetic restoration was given on accessing the radiographic bone fill after six months. After six months there was a significant difference in the radiographic bone fill, along with the reduction in the probing pocket depth from 7 mm to 4 mm and clinical attachment from 9 mm to 7 mm. The results indicate that sticky bone and PRF membrane serves as a predictable source for the management of intrabony defects.
