The objective of this study was to investigate the regenerative effects of apatite foam (AF) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on bone defects. Critical-sized defects in the tibia of rats were filled with randomly distributed combinations of AF with and without PRP. The animals were killed after three, six, and 12 weeks, and their tissue responses were histologically examined. At three weeks, we found no significant differences in bone regeneration against control group (21.9 +/- 3.1%) when PRP (20.3 +/- 4.2%) and AF (21.6 +/- 2.9%) were used independently of each other. In contrast, significantly (p
