PRF Platelet Rich Fibrin: Is It Ready For The Prime Time?

Abstract

Loss of connected connective tissue and other periodontal tissues is a hallmark of periodontal disease. Platelet-secreted growth factors aid in the development of new tissue and the healing of wounds.

AIM The current review sought to shed light on the function and workings of PRF in periodontal regeneration for periodontally compromised teeth.

DISCUSSION: The rationale of these technologies is to extract all the elements from patient's own blood sample, which could be used to improve healing by promoting tissue regeneration. PCs have evolved a long way since its introduction in 1954.

CONCLUSION: PRF is regarded as an easy and affordable method for effective periodontal regeneration.
