Abstract

Platelet concentrates, mostly platelet-rich fibrin, has gained path breaking significance in various medical and dental fields, because of their potential to stimulate and improve regeneration of hard and soft tissues. This platelet concentrate is prepared from the patient’s blood and shows promising result in various surgical fields including oral and maxillofacial surgery. The effects of these biomaterials are described to be a result of the large concentration of platelets which contain a wide range of growth factors. The aim of this article is to introduce the principle and function of these platelet concentrates, to review their preparation, use in different fields.
