Comparison of Platelet Rich Fibrin over Platelet Rich Plasma: A Current Review

Clinical applications have been made of platelet rich fibrin (PRF), a platelet concentrate that can promote tissue regeneration. It's interesting to note that despite numerous techniques being put forth, not much information has been found about the final cell counts after centrifugation. There are several centrifuges that are commercially available with their corresponding procedures using a new technique for cell quantification. Platelet concentrates, such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), have been used extensively as a scaffold to promote tissue regeneration in numerous medical specialties. PRP was initially presented as a specialized restorative technique meant to concentrate entire blood platelets. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of PRP and PRF.
