The goal of periodontal therapy is to improve periodontal health and thereby to satisfy the patient's esthetic and functional needs or demands. To achieve this goal, most periodontal treatments aim to reduce probing depths and maintain or improve attachment levels and these parameters are used as surrogates of improved tooth retention. One of the promising innovations in the field of surgical dentistry is the use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and PRP, alone or as an additive with other biomaterials. It accelerates the healing mechanism of the tissue and reduces the inflammation. This book summarizes the role of PRF and PRP in the process of healing, its advantages, disadvantages, and clinical implications including advanced surgical procedures.
