In bone defects caused by tooth loss, tissue reconstructions are necessary to enable prosthetic rehabilitation with dental implants. Diverse techniques and materials of different origins are used for this purpose.  Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) has been used in association with osteoconductive biomaterials in procedures of bone regeneration and for covering grafted areas. The aim of this article was to demonstrate a clinical case of bone grafting in the posterior region of the mandible, performed with the use of synthetic biomaterial composed of biphasic calcium phosphate associated with Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin for performing bone augmentation in an alveolar ridge with a horizontal defect, thereby enabling later installation of dental implants and prosthetic rehabilitation in the region. Keywords: bone graft, biomaterials, leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin, bone substitutes, dental implants.
