Abstract
Platelets are reservoirs of growth factors and cytokines and play a crucial role in wound healing and regeneration of tissues. Literature review suggests an important role of platelet concentrates in periodontal and pulpal regeneration. Platelet-rich fibrin is a second generation platelet concentrate which contains platelets and growth factors in the form of fibrin membranes prepared from the patient’s own blood free of any anticoagulant or other artificial modifiers. This article briefly describes the role of platelet-rich fibrin in periodontal and pulpal regeneration.
Keywords: Platelet-rich fibrin, Platelet concentrates, Regeneration.
