Opis

Periodontitis is characterized by the inflammation of periodontal tissues leading to the loss of support for affected teeth, necessitates not only the elimination of the inflammatory process but also the regeneration of lost periodontal attachment and bone. Platelet concentrates, specifically Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), play a pivotal role in this endeavor. Platelet concentrates, such as PRP and PRF, are prepared through specific centrifugation techniques. PRF, particularly appreciated for its biocompatibility and slow release of growth factors, has shown promise in sustaining tissue healing. These concentrates find wide applications in periodontology, including soft tissue grafting, periodontal surgery, implantology, and Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR).
