Bone regeneration can be accomplished through osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate the properties of the PRF scaffold with tricalcium phosphate nanoparticles in socket preservation in an animal model. Fabrication of PRF performed. In this experimental study, 18 rats were divided into three negative control, PRF, and PRF/TCP groups. The mechanical and chemical tests including swelling rate, degradation time, and MTT tests were applied to the scaffolds. In each animal, the first maxillary right molar was extracted, and extraction sites of test groups were filled with a resorbable biocompatible biomaterial in situ hardening bone substitute. After 2 and 4 weeks all animals were sacrificed and examined histopathologically and with qRT-PCR. Histological results showed TCP in combination with PRF accelerates bone regeneration with the highest amount of lamellar bone and collagen formation compared to the control and PRF alone. Mechanical and chemical tests on the scaffolds showed the addition of TCP to the PRF scaffold decreases the swelling rate and increases the degradation time. qRT-PCR showed expression of osteogenic genes increased significantly ( p < 0.05) in PRF/TCP and PRF, respectively. In conclusion, the gelatin hydrogel containing PRF/TCP scaffold led to more bone formation after tooth extraction. Therefore, the injectable PRF\TCP hydrogel is a promising candidate for bone repair and regeneration.
