Abstract:Background: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a biomaterial whose frame is a network of fibrin fibers containing cells from peripheral blood and growth factors. PRF biomaterials have great potential for application in regenerative medicine, especially in maxillofacial surgery and orthopedic trauma. The purpose of this study is to investigate the cytological and histological properties of PRF in order to provide the background knowledge for the applied studies of PRF. Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood from 10… Show more
