This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the reconstruction of segmental mandibular defects using iliac bone grafts. Thirteen patients underwent reconstruction of post-resection segmental defects of the mandible using titanium reconstruction plates, cortico cancellous iliac bone graft. The patients were randomly separated into two groups. One group of the patients received a PRP graft in addition to the iliac bone graft. Post-operative dimensions of the graft were measured and compared to assess the efficacy of PRP in reconstruction of segmental defects. The post-operative follow-up radiographs confirmed consolidation of the graft in all cases and the segmental defect was obliterated. Thereby mandibular continuity was successfully achieved in all cases. Two patients in the non-PRP group developed an infection and were administered additional antibiotics. The infection was contained and the grafts survived. The use of PRP along with autogenous bone graft may be advantageous since it appeared to enhance the quantity of bone formed. Further long-term follow-up and studies are required to effectively establish the efficacy of PRP and autogenous free bone grafts in the reconstruction of bony defects.
