Abstract

Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) can be considered as an autologous biomaterial which consists of leukocytes, platelets, and range of healing proteins within dense fibrin matrix. This material can work as reservoir for active biochemicals which are released slowly over the period of time while protecting and maintaining the grafted biomaterials in their respective positions. It not only reduces the bulk of graft material required, but makes a desirable connection between the bone particles. The use of PRF in clinical practice is widespread and it is prudent to incorporate this practical and inexpensive regenerative method in all dental offices.
