Eighteen male New Zealand white rabbits underwent bilateral maxillary sinus augmentation and were divided into two groups: DBBM alone and H-PRF plus DBBM.
Eighteen male New Zealand white rabbits underwent bilateral maxillary sinus augmentation and were divided into two groups: DBBM alone and H-PRF plus DBBM. In vitro Transwell assays evaluated migration of osteoblasts and THP-1 macrophages using conditioned media. The H-PRF bone block group showed higher immune cell infiltration at 3 and 7 days, with significantly greater new blood vessel formation and early osteoclast development at 14 days compared to DBBM alone. In vitro experiments confirmed that H-PRF conditioned media promoted migration of both osteoblasts and macrophages. Minor soft tissue edema was observed with no adverse events such as Schneiderian membrane perforation or wound dehiscence. Limitations include the absence of immunofluorescence staining to identify specific immune cell types and inability to distinguish cells derived from PRF itself versus those recruited from neighboring tissues.
