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.

The unique physical, emotional, and developmental characteristics of the person make dental care particularly challenging for the dental implant practitioner. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of literature concerning the use of pharmacologic agents in implant dentistry. This has been attributed largely to the fears and difficulties associated with working with systemic disorder patients. In the literature available, comparison of studies and compilation of information are frequently impossible because of differences in selection criteria, study population, and drug regimens used. Practitioners should use only those drugs in which they have been well trained to avoid excessive risk to the patients. This review aims on the various pharmacological considerations for treating the implant patients with systemic conditions.
