Obtention of injectable platelets rich-fibrin (i-PRF) and its polymerization with bone graft: technical note

TLDR

Autologous platelet concentrates, such as injectable platelet‑rich plasma, are widely regarded as promising tools in medicine and dentistry and have shown good results in regenerative procedures. The study aims to present injectable platelet‑rich fibrin combined with particulated bone graft as an alternative to platelet concentrates to accelerate hard and soft tissue healing. The authors prepared injectable platelet‑rich fibrin, mixed it with particulated bone graft materials, and polymerized the resulting composite.

Abstract

The use of autologous platelet concentrates, represent a promising and innovator tools in the medicine and dentistry today. The goal is to accelerate hard and soft tissue healing. Among them, the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the main alternative for use in liquid form (injectable). These injectable form of platelet concentrates are often used in regenerative procedures and demonstrate good results. The aim of this study is to present an alternative to these platelet concentrates using the platelet-rich fibrin in liquid form (injectable) and its use with particulated bone graft materials in the polymerized form.
