Dr. MeenuBhola, Dr. Sumeet Palta, Dr. Geetika Jindal

The ultimate aim of any procedure is complete eradication of infection followed by repair and regeneration of affected tissue to its natural undamaged state.In order to achieve this goal, Platelet rich fibrin emerges as a satisfactory alternative with promising results and low risks. Platelet rich fibrin is a fibrin matrix, 3-dimensional, biomaterial in which cytokines and growth factors are trapped and released after certain time that can be used as a resorbable membrane. Platelet rich fibrin alone or in combination of other biomaterials has immense uses in dentistry like treating endodontic and periodontic lesions, regeneration of pulp–dentine complex, implantology, sinus lift procedures.We will further discuss about implications of this material in this review. Keywords: Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF), BloodPlatelet, Growth factors, regeneration.
