Abstract:Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a protein matrix with growth factors and immune cells extracted from venous blood via centrifugation. Previous studies proved it a beneficial biomaterial for bone and soft tissue regeneration in dental surgeries. Researchers have combined PRF with a wide range of biomaterials for composite preparation as it is biocompatible and easily acquirable. The results of the studies are difficult to compare due to varied research methods and the fact that researchers focus more on the PRF p… Show more
