ORAL COMPLICATIONS OF CHEMOTHERAPY - A REVIEW
Chandan Venkatesh, Maithilee Jani, Anshul Shah

Platelet- rich fibrin is a second generation platelet concentrate and is defined as an autologous leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin biomaterial. It was first developed by Choukroun for the first time in France. It has been used extensively in various disciplines in dentistry. In periodontal therapy it is used in combination with bone graft materials for periodontal regeneration, ridge augmentation, sinus lift procedures for implant placement and for coverage of recession defects in the form of a membrane. This membrane consists of a fibrin 3-D polymerized matrix in a specific structure, with the incorporation of platelets, leukocytes, growth factors and presence of circulating stem cells.
Key words: platelet rich fibrin, regeneration, growth factors.
