Summary:
Reconstructive dental surgeons are constantly
looking for an “edge” that jump starts the healing
process to maximize predictability as well as the
volume of regenerated bone. Is it bone morphogenetic
protein-2 (BMP-2), recombinant platelet
derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB), platelet
rich plasma (PRP), plasma rich in growth factors
(PRGF), or a combination of all four? Let
me say from the outset, “I don’t know” and this
report will not provide the answer, but it will serve
to introduce a second generation platelet concentrate,
platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). PRF is easy
to obtain, less costly, and a possibly very beneficial
ingredient to add to the “regenerative mix.”
