Background: Tissue engineering has been investigated as a potential method for healing traumatized tissues. Biomaterials are material devices or implants used to repair or replace native body tissues and organs. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of decontamination methods on biological/mechanical properties and degradation/adhesion test of the platelet‑-rich fibrin (PRF) m...

Introduction In recent years, a growing interest has emerged with the use of platelet-rich products for the treatment of many clinical conditions in dentistry. Objective The present study aimed to define the structural characteristics of titanium platelet-rich fibrin (TPRF) and PRF in hypertensive and smoker participants. Materials and Methods Ten milliliters of blood samples was drawn usin...

objective: ovarian and follicle transplantation may preserve fertility in young cancer survivors. in this study, we have transplanted preantral follicles using fibrin gel as a carrier and fibrin gel supplemented with platelet lysate (pl) as a rich source of angiogenic and growth factors. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of fibrin gel and pl in follicle transplantation. materia...

Autologous platelet concentrates represent promising innovative tools in the field of regenerative medicine and have been extensively used in oral surgery. Unlike platelet rich plasma (PRP) that is a gel or a suspension, Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) is a solid 3D fibrin membrane generated chair-side from whole blood containing no anti-coagulant. The membrane has a dense three dimensio...

An immature tooth with pulpal necrosis and periapical pathology imposes a great difficulty to the endodontists. Endodontic treatment options for such teeth consist of conventional apexification procedure with and without apical barriers. Various materials have been tried as apical matrix in the past. This article demonstrates the newer concept of using platelet rich fibrin membrane as an apical...

INTRODUCTION The healing process after surgery is a challenging issue for surgeons. Various materials and techniques have been developed to facilitate this process and reduce its period. Fibrin adhesives are often used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery to seal diffuse microvascular bleeding and in general and plastic surgery to seal wound borders. This Case report and literature review wil...
