[PMID: 38641925 DOI: 10.1111/jocd.16333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a major cause of hair loss resulting from a complex interplay between various genes and hormones with the result being follicular miniaturization and altered hair cycle dynamics. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has a well-established role as adjunctive therapy in AGA but there are many limitations of it. In an attempt to overcome the shortcomings of PRP, liquid platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) was developed. AIM This article critically reviews the protocol for the preparation and clinical outcomes of PRF. PATIENTS/METHODS The articles published so far in the English language regarding the preparation and clinical outcomes of PRF were reviewed. RESULTS Among five studies analyzing various centrifugation speeds and centrifugation times, three of the studies favored low-speed centrifugation, whereas two studies did not support this methodology. A horizontal centrifuge may be preferred over a fixed-angle centrifuge for PRF. Five clinical studies on the use of PRF showed a significant effect on AGA. CONCLUSION At present, there is no consensus regarding the preparation of PRF. Most studies used fixed-angle centrifugation favored low centrifuge speed and less centrifugation time. Larger studies are needed to determine the optimal centrifugation force and time. A horizontal centrifuge may be preferred over a fixed-angle centrifuge due to the higher yield of platelets, and lesser shear trauma to the cells. In addition, larger, well-designed studies are needed to confirm the benefits of PRF over PRP.

Abstract
BACKGROUD Regardless of application scenarios, proper mechanical characteristics and degradation properties are prerequisites for horizontal platelet rich fibrin (H-PRF) to manifest its ability. Among the methods used to modify PRF, thermal manipulation is promising as it is easy to handle without adding extra additives. Yet there is no consensus on optimal temperature treatment. This study aimed to investigate the effects of heating on the biological and mechanical characteristics of H-PRF and explore the optimum heating temperature for H-PRF thermal treatment. METHODS We employed a series of temperature gradients, room temperature, 50℃, 75℃, 90℃, 105℃. The microstructure and the mechanical properties were recorded by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and tensile strength tests respectively. The degradation rate of H-PRF membranes was examined by digestion assay with plasmin and trypsin. The viability of cells within H-PRF membranes and the proliferation of osteoblasts cultured with extracts from different H-PRF groups was evaluated using CCK-8 assays. RESULTS Compared with the nonheated group, overheated manipulation beyond 90℃ can significantly prolong the degradation properties for up to 3 to 4 weeks and enhance the mass stress of H-PRF membranes. A high-temperature treatment of 105℃ accompanied by the cell activity beneath H-PRF reduced more than half, and thus, the biological effect on human osteoblasts (hFOBs) also reduced dramatically. CONCLUSIONS High thermal manipulation can prolong the degradation properties and enhance the mechanical properties of PRF membranes accompanied by the loss of biological effect.

Clinical and Biochemical Evaluation of the Use of Alb-PRF versus L-PRF in Mandibular Third Molar Extractions: A Split-Mouth Randomized Clinical Trial. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:505. [PMID: 37888172 PMCID: PMC10607814 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14100505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone tissue engineering seeks biomaterials that enable cell migration, angiogenesis, matrix deposition, and tissue regeneration. Blood concentrates like platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) offer a cost-effective source of cells and growth factors to enhance healing. The present study aimed to evaluate heated serum albumin with liquid PRF (Alb-PRF) and L-PRF clinically and biochemically after placement in dental sockets following mandibular third molar extraction. In a controlled, split-mouth study involving 10 volunteers, 20 extracted molars were treated with either Alb-PRF or L-PRF. Post-extraction, pain, trismus, infection presence, and swelling were measured. The concentrations of different analytes in the surgical sites were also examined. The data were statistically analyzed, with significance defined at p < 0.05 (t-test). No significant difference was noted between the groups for pain and trismus, but Alb-PRF showed a significant reduction in swelling on day seven. The Alb-PRF group showed lower levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (GM-CSF, IL-1b, IL-6, IFNy, IL-8, IL-15, RANTES, and MIP-1a) after seven days, with only higher expressions of MIP-1b, IL-1b, and MCP-1 found in the L-PRF group. Differences were observed in the release of analytes between L-PRF and Alb-PRF, with Alb-PRF significantly reducing edema after seven days. Alb-PRF reduced edema, while L-PRF increased inflammatory cytokines. When compared to L-PRF, Alb-PRF reduced edema and the release of inflammatory cytokines, suggesting promising effects in socket healing while underscoring the role of growth factors and cytokines in potential applications of blood concentrates.

The Effects of Platelet-Rich Fibrin in the Behavior of Mineralizing Cells Related to Bone Tissue Regeneration-A Scoping Review of In Vitro Evidence. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:503. [PMID: 37888168 PMCID: PMC10607127 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14100503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation blood concentrate that serves as an autologous approach for both soft and hard tissue regeneration. It provides a scaffold for cell interaction and promotes the local release of growth factors. PRF has been investigated as an alternative to bone tissue therapy, with the potential to expedite wound healing and bone regeneration, though the mechanisms involved are not yet fully understood. This review aims to explore the in vitro evidence of PRF's effects on the behavior of mineralizing cells related to bone tissue regeneration. A systematic electronic search was conducted up to August 2023, utilizing three databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. A total of 76 studies were selected, which presented in vitro evidence of PRF's usefulness, either alone or in conjunction with other biomaterials, for bone tissue treatment. PRF membranes' influence on the proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of bone cells is linked to the constant release of growth factors, resulting in changes in crucial markers of bone cell metabolism and behavior. This further reinforces their therapeutic potential in wound healing and bone regeneration. While there are some notable differences among the studies, the overall results suggest a positive effect of PRF on cell proliferation, differentiation, mineralization, and a reduction in inflammation. This points to its therapeutic potential in the field of regenerative medicine. Collectively, these findings may help enhance our understanding of how PRF impacts basic physiological processes in bone and mineralized tissue.

Abstract
This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) applied to the extraction socket after impacted mandibular third molar surgery with subjective and objective parameters. Forty-eight patients with impacted wisdom teeth in bilateral and similar positions were included in the study. The control group was formed with the standard surgery and the PRF group was formed with local PRF application in addition to standard procedure (n = 96). The anti-inflammatory activity of PRF on postoperative 2nd and 7th days was evaluated subjectively by clinical parameters and objectively by biochemical parameters. Postoperative 2nd- and 7th-day follow-up data of pain, edema, and trismus in the PRF group were found to be statistically significantly lower. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were found to be statistically significantly lower in the PRF group than the control in the postoperative 2nd-day follow-up period (p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) parameters when the PRF group and the control group were compared in both follow-up periods (p > 0.05). The study has demonstrated the effectiveness of locally applied PRF after ITM surgery via clinical parameters and objective data. The quantitative analysis of CRP and ERS can be an effective parameter in determining the amount of inflammation after ITM surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this clinical observational study was to assess the efficacy of L-PRF as a hemostatic agent in patients under treatment with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients under oral anticoagulant therapy (VKA or DOACs) who needed a single simple tooth extraction were enrolled. L-PRF plug was positioned inside the alveolus and secured with non-absorbable sutures. Surgical time, pain-VAS, paracetamol intake, intra-operative, post-operative biological complications, and bleeding events have been registered. RESULTS A total of 112 patients (59 patients for DOAC and 53 for VKA group) were enrolled. Post-operative bleeding was recorded in nine patients (17%) for VKA group and nine patients (15.3%) for DOACs group. None of the patients needed a medical support for managing of bleeding. Seven days after surgery, no cases of post-extractive complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS The use of L-PRF resulted in limited mild late post-operative bleedings without the need of medical intervention. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use of L-PRF can be adopted for an uneventful post-operative curse in anticoagulated patients without chasing their therapy for single tooth extraction.

Abstract
Experimental research is critical for advancing medical knowledge and enhancing patient outcomes, including in vitro and in vivo preclinical assessments. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a blood by-product that has garnered attention in the medical and dental fields due to its potential for tissue regeneration and wound healing. Animal models, such as rabbits and rats, have been used to produce PRF and examine its properties and applications. PRF has demonstrated potential in the dental and medical fields for reducing inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and accelerating wound healing. This narrative review aims to compare existing evidence and provide guidelines for PRF animal research, emphasizing the importance of standardizing animal models, following ethical considerations, and maintaining transparency and accountability. The authors highlight the necessity to use the correct relative centrifugal force (RCF), standardize centrifugal calibration, and report detailed information about blood collection and centrifuge parameters for reproducible results. Standardizing animal models and techniques is crucial for narrowing the gap between laboratory research and clinical applications, ultimately enhancing the translation of findings from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Bioengineering is an area of biotechnology that offers tools for different therapeutic strategies, including tissue therapies. For this, cells are associated with growth factors and scaffolds composed of biocompatible biomaterials capable of promoting the regeneration of tissues, such as bones. Autologous biomaterials produced from human peripheral blood have a proven ability to produce/release activating factors for tissue repair, with potential application as a vehicle for carrying substances for local release. The present idea proposes the use of a new blood-derived concentrate, Alb-PRF, an activated plasma albumin gel with the platelet-rich fibrin in the liquid phase (Liquid PRF). Alb-PRF can be able to stabilize the fibrin matrix of the scaffold, acting as a drug delivery system vehicle in malignant lesions.

Abstract
Periodontal infections are noncommunicable chronic inflammatory diseases of multifactorial origin that can induce destruction of both soft and hard tissues of the periodontium. The standard remedial modalities for periodontal regeneration include nonsurgical followed by surgical therapy with the adjunctive use of various biomaterials to achieve restoration of the lost tissues. Lately, there has been substantial development in the field of biomaterial, which includes the sole or combined use of osseous grafts, barrier membranes, growth factors and autogenic substitutes to achieve tissue and bone regeneration. Of these, bone replacement grafts have been widely explored for their osteogenic potential with varied outcomes. Osseous grafts are derived from either human, bovine or synthetic sources. Though the biologic response from autogenic biomaterials may be better, the use of bone replacement synthetic substitutes could be practical for clinical practice. This comprehensive review focuses initially on bone graft replacement substitutes, namely ceramic-based (calcium phosphate derivatives, bioactive glass) and autologous platelet concentrates, which assist in alveolar bone regeneration. Further literature compilations emphasize the innovations of biomaterials used as bone substitutes, barrier membranes and complex scaffold fabrication techniques that can mimic the histologically vital tissues required for the regeneration of periodontal apparatus.

Abstract
Among all the biomaterials introduced in the field of bone tissue engineering, injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF) has recently gained considerable attention. I-PRF, as a rich source of biologically active molecules, is a potential candidate which can be easily obtained in bedside and constitutes several biological factors which can result in higher anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and regenerative capabilities. According to the studies evaluating the osteogenic efficacy of I-PRF, this biomaterial has exhibited favorable outcomes in terms of adhesion, differentiation, migration, proliferation and mineralization potential of stem cells. In addition, the injectability and ease-of-applicability of this biomaterial has led to its various clinical applications in the oral and maxillofacial bone regeneration such as ridge augmentation, sinus floor elevation, cleft palate reconstruction and so on. Furthermore, to enhance the clinical performance of I-PRF, albumin gel-PRF as a long-lasting material for long-term utilization has been recently introduced with a gradual increase in growth factor release pattern. This review provides a comprehensive approach to better evaluate the applicability of I-PRF by separately appraising its performance in in-vitro, in-vivo and clinical situations. The critical approach of this review toward the different production protocols and different physical and biological aspects of I-PRF can pave the way for future studies to better assess the efficacy of I-PRF in bone regeneration.

[PMID: 35268363 PMCID: PMC8911141 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11051272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine if arthroscopic shavers can effectively collect and process connective tissue progenitor (CTP) cells from subacromial bursal tissue for utilization in rotator cuff repair augmentation. Subacromial bursal tissue was collected and processed using two arthroscopic shavers, Shaver A and Shaver B, in 10 patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Each shaver was used in a random order for the same patient. Tissue samples underwent testing for cellular proliferation, cellular concentration, number of colony-forming units (CFU), live/dead assay, fluorescence-activated cells sorting (FACS) analysis, cytokine analysis, and growth factor analysis. Shaver A produced more CFUs compared to Shaver B (210.3 vs. 125.9; p < 0.001). At 3 weeks, cells collected via Shaver A had greater cellular proliferation (0.35 vs. 0.51; p < 0.001) as well as more viable cells (214,773 vs. 132,356 cells/gram; p < 0.001). Tissue collected with Shaver B had greater amounts of the cytokines MMP-1 (3741 vs. 5500 pg/mL; p < 0.001), MMP-3 (1131 vs. 1871 pg/mL; p < 0.001), and MMP-13 (179 vs. 401 pg/mL; p < 0.001), while those collected with Shaver A had greater vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (47.8 vs. 9.0 pg/mL; p < 0.05). Arthroscopic shavers are capable of harvesting and processing CTP cells from subacromial bursal tissue. Different shavers may produce different yields of viable CTP cells.

"Sticky Bone" Preparation Device: A Pilot Study on the Release of Cytokines and Growth Factors. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15041474. [PMID: 35208017 PMCID: PMC8879971 DOI: 10.3390/ma15041474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Sticky bone, a growth factor-enriched bone graft matrix, is a promising autologous material for bone tissue regeneration. However, its production is strongly dependent on manual handling steps. In this sense, a new device was developed to simplify the confection of the sticky bone, named Sticky Bone Preparation Device (SBPD®). The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the suitability of the SBPD® to prepare biomaterials for bone regeneration with autologous platelet concentrates. The SBPD® allows the blending of particulate samples from synthetic, xenograft, or autogenous bone with autologous platelet concentrates, making it easy to use and avoiding the need of further manipulations for the combination of the materials. The protocol for the preparation of sticky bone samples using the SBPD® is described, and the resulting product is compared with hand-mixed SB preparations regarding in vitro parameters such as cell content and the ability to release growth factors and cytokines relevant to tissue regeneration. The entrapped cell content was estimated, and the ability to release biological mediators was assessed after 7 days of incubation in culture medium. Both preparations increased the leukocyte and platelet concentrations compared to whole-blood samples (p < 0.05), without significant differences between SB and SBPD®. SBPD® samples released several growth factors, including VEGF, FGFb, and PDGF, at concentrations physiologically equivalent to those released by SB preparations. Therefore, the use of SBPD® results in a similar product to the standard protocol, but with more straightforward and shorter preparation times and less manipulation. These preliminary results suggest this device as a suitable alternative for combining bone substitute materials with platelet concentrates for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Performance of the biomaterials used for regenerative medicine largely depends on biocompatibility; however, the biological mechanisms underlying biocompatibility of a biomaterial within the host system is poorly understood. In addition to the classical immune response against non-self-entities, the sterile inflammatory response could limit the compatibility of biological scaffolds. Whereas the immediate to short-term host response to a biomaterial implant have been characterized, the long-term progression of host-biomaterial relationship has not been described. This article explores the novel concept of biomaterials-driven sterile inflammation (BSI) in long-term biodegradable implants and throws light for possible explanation for the onset of BSI and the associated damage-associated molecular patterns. The understanding of BSI would advance the current strategies to improve biomaterial-host tissue integration and open novel translational avenues in biomaterials-based tissue regeneration. Impact statement Understanding the novel concept of biomaterials-driven sterile inflammation and associated damage-associated molecular patterns in long-term biodegradable implants would determine their success and improves the tissue engineering and regenerative strategies.

Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in moderate periodontal pockets. The split-mouth study involved 32 sites from 16 patients. Baseline parameters were recorded followed by complete full-mouth SRP. The test and control sites were randomly selected and autologous PRF was placed in the test site and other site served as control. The blinded examiner recorded clinical parameters at baseline, 60 days, and 90 days. No statistical significance was found at baseline in probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL). Statistically, significant improvement was observed within test and control groups at 90 days compared to baseline values. A statistically significant difference in test sites was found in terms of reduction in PD and clinical attachment gain (CAG) compared to the control sites at the end of the study period (p value <0.05). This split-mouth pilot study emphasized a statistically significant improvement in pocket depth reduction and CAL gain when PRF was used as an adjunct to SRP in moderate periodontal pockets.

Abstract
Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is an autologous blood concentrate, that supports tissue regeneration. The effect of the centrifuge rotor angle in the fabrication of PRF is still not fully elucidated. The hypothesis of this study is: When applying the same g-force {relative centrifugal force (RCF)} and centrifugation time, PRF components and bioactivity are not modified using either a swing-out or fixed angle rotor. For this purpose, peripheral blood samples (five donors )were used to gain solid matrices (710 xg, 8 minutes) and liquid (44 xg, 8 minutes) PRF matrices using three different centrifuges (one fixed angle as a control; and two different swingout rotor centrifuges). The physical characteristics of the solid PRF were measured to evaluate the clot formation and cellular distribution. Liquid PRF was used to evaluate the cell number, bioactivity and influence on primary human osteoblasts and fibroblasts in vitro. Solid PRF clots were significantly larger in the group of fixed rotor centrifuges compared to either of the two evaluated swing-out rotor centrifuges. No differences were observed when evaluating the cellular distribution within the solid No statistically significant differences were documented in the cell's density in liquid PRF samples (platelets, lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) among the differently gained PRF samples. No statistically significant differences were documented for the released growth factors (VEGF, EGF, TGF-β1) over 7 days. Primary human osteoblasts (pOBs) and primary human fibroblasts (pHFs) viability after treatment with PRF conditioned media showed no statistically significant differences between the evaluated groups. However, the number of adherent cells treated with PRF obtained with the use of the fixed angle rotor was significantly higher when compared to those treated with PRF obtained by using the swing-out rotors. The presented results confirmed that regardless of the centrifuge rotor used, the components and bioactivity of solid and liquid PRF matrices are modified by the applied RCF and centrifugation time. These findings are of great importance for highlighting the essential role of adapting the centrifugation protocols when using different centrifuges and to correctly report the used centrifugation protocols in scientific research to allow for reproducible results.

Abstract
This work aimed to investigate the use of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures (REP) on the treatment of pulp necrosis in mature teeth through systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence on clinical and radiographic parameters before and after REP. A search was performed in different databases on 9 September 2020, including seven clinical studies and randomized controlled trials (RCT). The methodological quality was assessed using Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias (RoB 2) and Before-and-After tools. Meta-analyses were performed to evaluate the success incidences regarding the reduction of periapical lesion and recovery of sensitivity. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using GRADE. Meta-analysis showed a high overall success of 0.95 (0.92, 0.98) I2 = 6%, with high periapical lesion reduction at 12 months (0.93 (0.86, 0.96) I2 = 37%) and by the end of follow-up (0.91 (0.83, 0.96) I2 = 13%). Lower incidences of positive sensitivity response were identified for the electrical (0.58 (0.46, 0.70) I2 = 51%) and cold tests (0.70 (0.54, 0.84) I2 = 68%). The calculated levels of REP success were similar to those reported for immature teeth. With a very low certainty of evidence, the meta-analysis showed a high incidence of REP’s success for mature teeth with necrotic pulp evidenced by periapical lesion reduction and moderate positive responses to sensitivity tests.

Guided bone regeneration simultaneous with implant placement using bovine-derived xenograft with and without liquid platelet-rich fibrin: a randomized controlled clinical trial. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 25:5563-5575.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess augmentation success after guided bone regeneration (GBR) carried out simultaneously with implant placement using bovine-derived xenograft alone and in combination with liquid platelet-rich fibrin (liquid-PRF). METHODS This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on patients with horizontal bone deficiency in the posterior regions of the mandible. After implant placement, GBR procedures were randomly performed using liquid-PRF-enriched bovine-derived xenograft (for the test group) and with bovine-derived xenograft alone (for the control group). To assess the change in augmentation thickness, the primary outcome of the study, cone beam computed tomography was carried out at the implant sites on completion and 6 months after surgery. The secondary outcomes were marginal bone level and implant survival rate at prosthetic delivery and at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years follow-up after loading. The significance level was set at p<0.05 for all analysis. RESULTS Twenty patients with 50 implants were analyzed for the test group and 20 patients with 48 implants for the control group. At 6 months postoperatively, the mean values of augmentation thickness were 1.63 ± 0.21 mm, 2.59 ± 0.34 mm, and 3.11 ± 0.36 mm for the test group and 1.34 ± 0.14 mm, 2.49 ± 0.24 mm, and 2.97 ± 0.24 mm for the control group at 2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm below to the implant shoulder (p < 0.001, p = 0.007, and p = 0.036, respectively). The mean marginal bone loss was found to be less than 1 mm for both study groups during the 2 years of follow-up after prosthetic loading. Implant survival rate was 100% for both study groups. CONCLUSION Bovine-derived xenograft alone and in combination with liquid-PRF are both successful in achieving bone augmentation around the implants and produce a small change in marginal bone level and a high implant survival rate after loading. CLINICAL RELEVANCE There is a lack of evidence in the literature regarding the augmentation success of liquid-PRF used in combination with bone graft substitutes. This study indicates that liquid-PRF could be used as a supportive material with bovine-derived xenograft in GBR procedures carried out simultaneously with implant placement.

Abstract
Objectives This study aims to compare the treatment outcomes of periodontal intrabony defects by using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with other commonly utilized modalities. Materials and methods The eligibility criteria comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the clinical outcomes of PRF with that of other modalities. Studies were classified into 10 categories as follows: (1) open flap debridement (OFD) alone versus OFD/PRF; (2) OFD/bone graft (OFD/BG) versus OFD/PRF; (3) OFD/BG versus OFD/BG/PRF; (4–6) OFD/barrier membrane (BM), OFD/PRP, or OFD/enamel matrix derivative (EMD) versus OFD/PRF; (7) OFD/EMD versus OFD/EMD/PRF; (8–10) OFD/PRF versus OFD/PRF/metformin, OFD/PRF/bisphosphonates, or OFD/PRF/statins. Weighted means and forest plots were calculated for probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and radiographic bone fill (RBF). Results From 551 articles identified, 27 RCTs were included. The use of OFD/PRF statistically significantly reduced PD and improved CAL and RBF when compared to OFD. No clinically significant differences were reported when OFD/BG was compared to OFD/PRF. The addition of PRF to OFD/BG led to significant improvements in CAL and RBF. No differences were reported between any of the following groups (OFD/BM, OFD/PRP, and OFD/EMD) when compared to OFD/PRF. No improvements were also reported when PRF was added to OFD/EMD. The addition of all three of the following biomolecules (metformin, bisphosphonates, and statins) to OFD/PRF led to statistically significant improvements of PD, CAL, and RBF. Conclusions The use of PRF significantly improved clinical outcomes in intrabony defects when compared to OFD alone with similar levels being observed between OFD/BG and OFD/PRF. Future research geared toward better understanding potential ways to enhance the regenerative properties of PRF with various small biomolecules may prove valuable for future clinical applications. Future research investigating PRF at histological level is also needed. Clinical relevance The use of PRF in conjunction with OFD statistically significantly improved PD, CAL, and RBF values, yielding to comparable outcomes to OFD/BG. The combination of PRF with bone grafts or small biomolecules may offer certain clinical advantages, thus warranting further investigations.

Abstract
Blood Concentrates (BCs) are autologous non-transfusional therapeutical preparations with biological properties applied in tissue regeneration. These BCs differ in the preparation method, in fibrin network architecture, growth factors release as well as in platelet/cell content. Methodological changes result in distinct matrices that can compromise their clinical effectiveness. The present study evaluated the influence of different g-forces and types of tubes in the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as a function of time. The PRF-like samples were obtained with three g-forces (200, 400, and 800 x g) for 10 minutes in pure glass tubes or in polystyrene-clot activator tubes. Scanning and Transmission electron microscopy was used to morphometric analyzes of PRF’s specimens and flow cytometry was used to quantify VEGF slow release until 7 days. Our results showed that platelets were intact and adhered to the fibrin network, emitting pseudopods and in degranulation. The fibrin network was rough and twisted with exosomic granulations impregnated on its surface. An increase in the concentration of VEGF in the PRF supernatant was observed until 7 days for all g forces (200, 400 or 800 xg), with the highest concentrations observed with 200 x g, in both tubes, glass or plastic. Morphological analyzes showed a reduction in the diameter of the PRF fibers after 7 days. Our results showed that g-force interferes with the shape of the fibrin network in the PRF, as well as affect the release of VEGF stored into platelets. This finding may be useful in applying PRF to skin lesions, in which the rapid release of growth factors can favor the tissue repair process. Our observations point to a greater clarification on the methodological variations related to obtaining PRF matrices, as they can generate products with different characteristics and degrees of effectiveness in specific applications.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of research on platelet concentrates (PCs) is to develop a more predictable PC therapy. Because platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a representative PC, was identified as a possible therapeutic agent for bone augmentation in the field of oral surgery, PRP and its derivative, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), have been increasingly applied in a regenerative medicine. However, a rise in the rate of recurrence (e.g., in tendon and ligament injuries) and adverse (or nonsignificant) clinical outcomes associated with PC therapy have raised fundamental questions regarding the validity of the therapy. Thus, rigorous evidence obtained from large, high-quality randomized controlled trials must be presented to the concerned regulatory authorities of individual countries or regions. For the approval of the regulatory authorities, clinicians and research investigators should understand the real nature of PCs and PC therapy (i.e., adjuvant therapy), standardize protocols of preparation (e.g., choice of centrifuges and tubes) and clinical application (e.g., evaluation of recipient conditions), design bias-minimized randomized clinical trials, and recognize superfluous brand competitions that delay sound progress. In this review, we retrospect the recent past of PC research, reconfirm our ultimate goals, and discuss what will need to be done in future.

Abstract
This study evaluated the impact of rotor angle and time of storage after centrifugation on the in vitro biological properties of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membranes. Blood samples (n = 9) were processed with a vertical fixed-angle (V) or a swing-out horizontal (H) centrifuge, with 20-60 min of sample storage after centrifugation. Leukocytes, platelets, and red blood cells were counted, and fibrin architecture was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The release of FGF2, PDGFbb, VEGF, IL-6, and IL-1β was measured after incubation on culture media for 7-21 days. Cell content was equivalent in all experimental groups (p > .05). The fibrin matrix was similar for fixed-angle and horizontal centrifugation. Horizontal centrifugation induced a twofold increase in PDGF and 1.7× increase on FGF release as compared to V samples, while IL-1β was significantly reduced (p < .05). No significant difference was observed on the release of growth factors and cytokines at different times after centrifugation (p < .05). These data suggest that both angles of centrifugation produce PRF membranes with similar structure and cellularity, but horizontal centrifugation induces a higher release of growth factors. Higher times of storage after centrifugation did not impact on cell content and the release of growth factors.

Use of platelet-rich fibrin for the treatment of gingival recessions: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Oral Investig 2020; 24:2543-2557.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with other commonly utilized treatment modalities for root coverage procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS The eligibility criteria comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the performance of PRF with that of other modalities in the treatment of Miller class I or II (Cairo RT I) gingival recessions. Studies were classified into 5 categories as follows: (1) coronally advanced flap (CAF) alone vs CAF/PRF, (2) CAF/connective tissue graft (CAF/CTG) vs CAF/PRF, (3) CAF/enamel matrix derivative (CAF/EMD) vs CAF/PRF, (4) CAF/amnion membrane (CAF/AM) vs CAF/PRF, and (5) CAF/CTG vs CAF/CTG/PRF. Studies were evaluated for percentage of relative root coverage (rRC; primary outcome), clinical attachment level (CAL), keratinized mucosa width (KMW), and probing depth (PD) (secondary outcomes). RESULTS From 976 articles identified, 17 RCTs were included. The use of PRF statistically significantly increased rRC and CAL compared with CAF alone. No change in KMW or reduction in PD was reported. Compared with PRF, CTG resulted in statistically significantly better KMW and RC. No statistically significant differences were reported between the CAF/PRF and CAF/EMD groups or between the CAF/PRF and CAF/AM groups for any of the investigated parameters. CONCLUSIONS The use of CAF/PRF improved rRC and CAL compared with the use of CAF alone. While similar outcomes were observed between CAF/PRF and CAF/CTG for CAL and PD change, the latter group led to statistically significantly better outcomes in terms of rRC and KTW. In summary, the use of PRF in conjunction with CAF may represent a valid treatment modality for gingival recessions exhibiting adequate baseline KMW. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The data indicate that the use of PRF in conjunction with CAF statistically significantly improves rRC when compared with CAF alone but did not improve KMW. Therefore, in cases with limited baseline KMW, the use of CTG may be preferred over PRF.

Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) consists of a matrix that provides the necessary elements for wound healing, acting as a biodegradable scaffold for cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation, in addition to the delivery of growth factors and angiogenesis. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the autologous PRF in the treatment of wounds of different etiologies. We carried out a systematic review of randomized clinical trials, guided by the recommendations of the Cochrane Collaboration using the following databases: Pubmed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CENTRAL. The search strategy resulted in the inclusion of ten studies that evaluated the use of PRF dressings for the healing of acute or chronic wounds of multiple etiologies. Among the 172 participants treated with PRF in wounds of varying etiologies and different segment times, 130 presented favorable events with the use of the intervention. Among the 10 studies included, only two of them did not demonstrate better results than the control group. The studies showed clinical heterogeneity, making it impossible to perform a meta-analysis. The findings do not provide enough evidence to support the routine use of PRF dressings as the first line of treatment for the healing of acute or chronic wounds of different etiologies. There was great variability in the application of the various protocols and the ways to prepare the PRF, resulting in clinical heterogeneity. Therefore, it makes it impossible to synthesize and to collect evidence from different types of studies in the meta-analysis, which affects the results and their proper discussion.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effect of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) to improve epithelialization and decrease postoperative pain in post-extraction sockets. Thirty two participants requiring extractions of posterior teeth were randomized into two groups: 1) extractions and socket filling with L-PRF membrane (test group) and 2) extraction with spontaneous healing (control group). One week after extraction, an assessment of soft tissue healing around the sockets was performed using the healing index. Also, postoperative pain by visual analog scale (VAS) and number of consumed analgesic tablets were recorded. In the first week, the sockets of the test group presented a significantly (mean of 3.81 ± 0.54; p = 0.0138) higher level of healing when compared to the sockets of the control group (mean of 3.18 ± 0.65). The participants of control group reported a significantly (mean of 5.12 ± 1.08; p = 0.0128) higher level of postoperative pain when compared to the test group (mean of 4 ± 1.15). Also, the control group consumed a greater number of analgesics (mean of 1.75 ± 0.85; p = 0.0136) when compared to the test group (mean of 1 ± 1.15). The results of the present study demonstrate that whenever improved healing of the extraction socket is needed, the use of L-PRF should be considered. In addition, the use of L-PRF decreases postoperative pain and discomfort.

Abstract
Treating chronic skin wounds in patients with diabetes, bed sores, or stasis dermatitis is typically a time-consuming and costly process, and the outcome is not always promising. Concentrated growth factor (CGF) obtained from the autologous venous blood of patients via fractional centrifugation is employed for producing a CGF gel or membrane that can be applied to expedite self-regeneration of skin wounds. In this case report, we presented the results from 18 patients with chronic skin wounds treated with a CGF gel or membrane produced from autologous venous blood. Noticeable granulation tissue and regenerated epidermal coverage were observed in 16 patients who received CGF treatment over various time courses, thereby demonstrating the significant therapeutic effects of CGF treatment in overall wound healing. The other two patients with stasis ulcers in their calves failed to respond to the treatment because of the comorbidity of iliac vein thrombosis. In addition, by culturing HaCaT keratinocytes using CGF membrane as the foundation, we observed that HaCaT cells attached to the CGF membrane migrated and proliferated to form an epithelium-like structure. Comprehensively, the clinical results infer that CGF gel can expedite the regeneration of the soft tissue at the wound, whereas CGF membrane may facilitate its marginal re-epithelialisation. The combination of the two can promote autologous regeneration of both deep and superficial wounds effectively and safely.
