In the HA + PRP group, the level of bone regeneration was 22.1±7.1 %, which was higher in comparison with the rates of consolidation of bone defects in the HA group (20.7± 9.3) (p = 0.023). According to the histo-morphometry data, the rates of bone tissue regeneration in the PRP group (19.8 ±4.2%) were higher in comparison with the CG group (12.7 ± 7.3%), (p>0.05).
