Leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin is known to contain high concentrations of growth factors and when associated with rhBMP-2, it may increase bone remodeling due to its osteoinductive property. The aim of this case is to report the outcome of surgical treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw with prototype plate installation and the use of leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin in association with rhBMP-2 in a 78-year-old female patient under therapy with alendronate. The present Studies describes that the combination of this treatment presented complete healing of osteonecrosis and represents a promising treatment option to be used for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.
