ABSTRACT
Role of Platelet-Rich Fibrin In Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery
Sudhanshu Singh
ABSTRACT
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an autogenous material that is derived from a person's own platelets and is used to enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration. PRF is a fibrin meshwork, in which platelet cytokines, growth factors, and cells are entrapped and discharged after a period and can serve as a resorbable film. PRF is proposed to have a direct effect on enhancing a patient's wound healing by suprasaturating the wound with growth factors that promote tissue healing. The autologous nature of PRF makes it preferred over a variety of allografts used in dentistry today. PRF in oral surgery are used for alveolar bone reconstruction, dental implant surgery, sinus augmentation, socket preservation, osteonecrosis, oroantral fistula closure, struggling with oral ulcers, preventing swelling and edema constitution. This article enriches the benefits and role of plasma-rich fibrin in oral surgery.
