ABSTRACT

There is considerable increase in the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) to revamp the healing response of tissues has stimulated the development and marketing of a plethora of commercial procedures that are outlined to concentrate platelets and suspend them in plasma or a fibrin construct of varying densities.[1] The use of Platelet concentrates (PC) [platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)] are frequently done in surgical procedures in many medical fields,[2] particularly in oral and maxillofacial surgery,[3,4] plastic surgery[5] and sports medicine.[6] PRP is a biological product defined as a portion of the plasma fraction of autologous blood with a platelet concentration above the baseline (before centrifugation).[7] PRP contains high level of platelets and full complement of clotting factors, the latter typically remaining at their normal, physiologic levels,[8] which are enhanced by a range of GFs, chemokines, cytokines, and other plasma proteins.[9]
