Bonded amalgam appears to be comparable to amalgam when microleakage is considered and to composite resin when fracture resistance is considered; hence, bonded amalgam can also be an alternative material to amalgam in primary molars.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a fibrin matrix in which platelet cytokines, growth factors, and cells are trapped and may be released after a certain time and that can serve as a resorbable membrane. It can be obtained from blood with the help of a simple process. PRF is basically a concentrate of growth factors that promote wound healing and regeneration, which is used in various disciplines of dentistry to repair various lesions and regenerate dental and oral tissues. Although the use of PRF is well-documented, its use in pediatric dentistry remains unexplored, due to its restrictions and on account of the fact that it is a blood-derived product. PRF has been used globally to enhance tissue healing. This article provides an insight into the use of PRF in pediatric dentistry, its benefits, limitations, and recommendations.
Aim: To highlight the importance of multidisciplinary approach in the management of complicated crown fracture of permanent maxillary right lateral incisor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
