Case Reports

Joshi Salil, Sharma Aditya, Kaushik Mayur, Agarwal Mrinalini

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an autologous source of growth factors with a great potential for soft tissue and bone regeneration, without causing inflammatory reactions that can be used alone or in combination with bone grafts to promote hemostasis, bone growth, and maturation. The purpose of the present case report was to evaluate the effect of Platelet Rich Fibrin on soft tissue healing response around dental implants. It was concluded that the use of PRF as barrier membrane appears to accelerate the healing at the surgical site thereby reducing postoperative complications associated with dental implants.
