Wound healing is a process which involves the activity of leukocytes and platelets. For healing to work efficiently, the platelets play a vital role. Platelet consists of growth factor which guides the regenerating cells to the area of healing. Platelet-rich-fibrin (PRF) is one such material, which consists of growth factors and cytokines entrapped in a fibrin matrix. It creates an ideal environment for wound healing and regeneration of periodontal tissues by combination of fibrin sealant properties with growth factors that result in sustained release of growth factors over a period of time which accelerate the wound healing process. Various platelet concentrates have been put forth on platelet rich plasma IPRP), but because of the short duration of cytokine release and its poor mechanical properties, the search was done on a new material with adequate properties and PRF was the one which played a lead role in the regenerative field owing to its advantages over PRP. This review focuses on the properties, various applications and recent advances of PRF in the clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
