A step ahead in periodontal regeneration: Platelet rich fibrin (PRF)- A second-generation platelet

n the past decade attempts have been made to discover biomaterials with significant contribution in healing and regeneration of
soft and hard tissues in those suffering from periodontal disease. Now, the focus has further shifted on an autogenous material
called platelet rich fibrin which provides an osteoconductive scaffold along with growth factors in a fibrin matrix to stimulate patient’s
own cells towards a regenerative response. Further, the clinical research demands development of a bioactive surgical additive which
regulates the inflammation and increase the speed of healing process. And in this sense, platelet rich fibrin (PRF) appears as a natural
and satisfactory alternative with favorable results and low risks. The slow polymerization during centrifugation and fibrin-based
structure makes PRF a better healing biomaterial than platelet rich plasma (PRP) and other fibrin adhesives. PRF is a natural fibrin-
based biomaterial without any artificial biochemical modification and has a potential role in periodontal regeneration. It is easy to
prepare, non-toxic or biocompatible to living tissues and economically cheap that might result in the local release of growth factors
accelerating the tissue healing process. This material is routinely used in periodontally involved patients in our Institute. Detailed
procedure will be discussed at the time of poster presentation.
