Use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin in the Treatment of Gingival Recession: Literature Review

Abstract

Currently, recent innovations describe the preparation and use of platelet concentrates to stimulate tissue regeneration and healing of both hard and soft tissues. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) corresponds to the second generation of these preparations. Its mechanism of action based on the growth factors found in platelets favors reparative processes at the cellular level in the surgical area. The present observational, analytical, and descriptive research aims to study biological properties and the use of PRF in root coverage procedures.
