Introduction: After extraction of a tooth, bone resorption is a normal physiological process often leading to decreased bone width and height. Thus, the further treatment plan with implant therapy and prosthetic becomes difficult. Literature shows A-PRF and bone graft has successful regeneration of soft and hard tissue.
