Abstract
This review examines platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) efficacy in periodontal plastic surgery, highlighting its crucial role in promoting periodontal regeneration and healing. Various forms of PRF are discussed, like leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin, advanced PRF, and injectable PRF, in addition to their application in different periodontal procedures such as root coverage and increasing the width of keratinized tissue surrounding the teeth. This review emphasizes the biological benefits of PRF, such as faster wound healing, reduced postsurgical pain, and better management of bleeding. The presence of growth factors, cytokines, and leukocytes in PRF significantly aids in promoting tissue regeneration, thereby improving the clinical outcomes of periodontal therapy. This review also provides recommendations for further research using standardized PRF protocols to optimize the benefits of PRF in clinical practice.
