Abstract
The aim of any invasive procedure is the complete eradication and elimination of the infection and associated necrotic tissue followed by repair and regeneration of the affected tissue. In order to achieve this goal various biological products have been introduced, among which are present the platelet concentrates. Platelet concentrates with their higher concentration of platelets has been used in the field of medicine since the 1990s in the form of the first-generation concentrates-Platelet Rich Plasma, and the second generation concentrated -Platelet Rich Fibrin. Choukroun’s Platelet Rich Fibrin is one such material, which is used by itself and also as an adjunct with grafts. It has been successful as it delivers high doses of growth factors and has anti-inflammatory properties. They have been shown to be of great promise in the field of dentistry, ranging from implantology; Sinuses lift procedures, treating of endodontic and periodontal lesions to regeneration of necrotic pulp. This novel technique has the potential to revolutionize the treatment mode in dentistry and help with reducing patient morbidity. We will be further looking into the specification and implications of this material in this review.
