Platelet-rich fibrin and its use in dentistry

Abstract

PRF is often defined as an autogenous fibrin biomaterial rich in leukocytes and platelets and is clinically easy to obtain and use. Various methods are available to prepare platelet concentrates, albeit the contents of platelet concentrates obtained by different methods also vary. Accordingly, they are divided into P-PRF, L-PRF, i-PRF, A-PRF, and A-PRF+, considering the thrombocyte leukocyte concentrates and fibrin contents. PRF is widely adopted in dentistry as promoting angiogenesis, immunity, and epithelial proliferation.

Trombositten zengin fibrin ve diş hekimliğinde kullanımı

Abstract

TZF, lökositten ve trombositten zengin otojen bir fibrin biyomateryali olarak tanımlanmıştır . TZF’nin elde eldilmesi ve klinik kullanımı kolaydır. Trombosit konsantrelerinin hazırlanmasında değişik yöntemler mevcuttur. Farklı yöntemlerle elde edilen trombosit konsantrelerinin içeriği de farklıdır. Buna göre trombosit lökosit konsantrelerinin ve fibrin içerikleri göz önünde bulundurularak S-TZF, L-TZF, E-TZF, G-TZF ve G-TZF+ olarak gruplara ayrılmaktadır. TZF, anjiojenez, bağışıklık ve epitel proliferasyonu desteklediği için diş hekimliğinde yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır.
