conclusions prp dressing could significantly decrease the depth and surface area of dfus in a three-week period. background some of the studies confirmed the effectiveness of platelet rich plasma (prp) in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (dfu). however, these studies had small sample size and used different methods such as prp gel or prp injections. the results are also contraversial. obje...

background:the aim of this study is to find out the spatial and temporal expression of tgf-b1 during the tendon healing, after application of platelet rich plasma (prp). methods: a patellar tendon defect model in rabbits was used for this purpose. 48 skeletally mature new zealand white rabbits, weighing 3.5 kg, were used for this study. equal numbers of animals from both groups were sacrificed ...

objectives:  the efficacy of adding platelet-rich plasma (prp) to demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (dfdba) in order to improve the clinical and radiographic results obtained in treatment of deep periodontal intrabony defects has yet to be fully elucidated. materials ­and methods: this double blind, split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 12 patients with two c...

Abstract Background Autologus platelet gel is easy to prepare and is relatively low cost. The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate in vitro efficacy of autologus platelet gel. Materials and Methods In this experimental study, platelet concentrate and platelet poor plasma were prepared with aphaeresis method. Thrombin was prepared by mixing the plasma with calcium. Thrombin activity...

perishability of blood products as well as uncertainty in demand amounts complicate the management of blood supply for blood centers. this paper addresses a mixed-integer linear programming model for blood platelets production planning while integrating the processes of blood collection as well as production/testing, inventory control and distribution. whole blood-derived production methods for...

statement of problem: reconstruction methods are an essential prerequisite for functional rehabilitation of the stomatognathic system. platelet-rich plasma (prp) offers a new and potentially useful adjunct to bone substitute materials (e.g. xenografts) in oral and maxillofacial bone and implant reconstructive surgery. purpose: an animal study was carried out to investigate the influence of prp ...

objective: to determine the effects of local administration of platelet rich plasma (prp) on peripheral nerve regeneration in rat sciatic nerve transection model. methods: forty-five male white wistar rats were randomized into three experimental groups (n = 15): normal control group (nc), silicon group (sil), prp treated group (sil/prp). in nc group left sciatic nerve was exposed through a glut...

Background  Many biomaterials are used during the open sinus lift surgery, beneath the elevated scheniderian membrane and maxillary sinus bony floor but the search for Ideal material continues. Methods  In the maxillary posterior atrophic ridges with the bone height less than four millimeters the open sinus lift surgery performed. The autologous Platelet-rich plasma (PRF) was used as the sol...

Introduction: Gold standard for alveolar cleft bone grafting is autogenous bone. Advantage of adding the growth factors to the bone is established, so adding PRF to the autogenous bone may have beneficial effects. Methods:  Platelet-rich plasma admixed with autogenous bone and as a biologic membrane over the bone grafted alveolar cleft was used. Results:  Autogenous bone in all (four cases...
