Abstract

Platelet rich fibrin contains various growth factors with in it and it is composed of fibrin matrix. Platelet rich fibrin is a concentrate of platelets of the second generation. Platelet rich fibrin helps in reducing the process of inflammation and enhance the healing process. An ideal environment is provided by platelet rich fibrin for the process of wound healing as well as regeneration of the tissue, as they combine the properties of fibrant sealant along with the properties of the growth factors in it. Platelet rich plasma has some advantages as it is derived more easily and with economical method of preparation along with it, it also eliminates the requirement of any exogenous compound for e.g. bovine thrombin or calcium chloride during the process of fabrication.
