Oral Surgeon.: Consult with a good oral surgeon in your area. If you have a osteomyelitis, A thorough surgery is needed to remove the dead & deacaying bone tissue. The bone graft is good idea mixed with your plasma. It depends upon how large the defect will be. Proper surgery & follow up are very important for a proper healing.
