Abstract
Blood concentrates like platelet rich fibrin (PRF) have been established as a potential autologous source of cells and growth factors with regenerative properties in the field of dentistry and regenerative medicine. To further analyze the effect of PRF on bone tissue regeneration, this study investigated the influence of liquid PRF matrices on human healthy primary osteoblasts (pOB) and co-cultures composed of pOB and human dermal vascular endothelial cells (HDMEC) as in vitro model for bone tissue regeneration. Special attention was paid to the PRF mediated influence on osteoblastic differentiation and angiogenesis. Based on the low-speed centrifugation concept, cells were treated indirectly with PRF prepared with a low (44 g) and high relative centrifugal force (710 g) before the PRF mediated effect on osteoblast proliferation and differentiation was assessed via gene and protein expression analyses and immunofluorescence. The results revealed a PRF-mediated positive effect on osteogenic proliferation and differentiation accompanied by increased concentration of osteogenic growth factors and upregulated expression of osteogenic differentiation factors. Furthermore, it could be shown that PRF treatment resulted in an increased formation of angiogenic structures in a bone tissue mimic co-culture of endothelial cells and osteoblasts induced by the PRF mediated increased release of proangiogenic growth factors. The effects on osteogenic proliferation, differentiation and vascularization were more evident when low RCF PRF was applied to the cells. In conclusion, PRF possess proosteogenic, potentially osteoconductive as well as proangiogenic properties, making it a beneficial tool for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Hydrogels, as an emerging biomaterial, have found extensive use in the healing of wounds due to their distinctive physicochemical structure and functional properties. Moreover, hydrogels can be made to match a range of therapeutic requirements for materials used in wound healing through specific functional modifications. This review provides a step-by-step explanation of the processes involved in cutaneous wound healing, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and reconstitution, along with an investigation of the factors that impact these processes. Furthermore, a thorough analysis is conducted on the various stages of the wound healing process at which functional hydrogels are implemented, including hemostasis, anti-infection measures, encouraging regeneration, scar reduction, and wound monitoring. Next, the latest progress of multifunctional hydrogels for wound healing and the methods to achieve these functions are discussed in depth and categorized for elucidation. Finally, perspectives and challenges associated with the clinical applications of multifunctional hydrogels are discussed.

Abstract
The survival of an organism relies on its ability to repair the damage caused by trauma, toxic agents, and inflammation. This process involving cell proliferation and differentiation is driven by several growth factors and is critically dependent on the organization of the extracellular matrix. Since autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) are fibrin matrices in which cells, growth factors, and cytokines are trapped and delivered over time, they are able to influence that response at different levels. The present review thoroughly describes the molecular components present in one of these APCs, leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), and summarizes the level of evidence regarding the influence of L-PRF on anti-inflammatory reactions, analgesia, hemostasis, antimicrobial capacity, and its biological mechanisms on bone/soft tissue regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) in regenerative endodontics by comparing the effect of i-PRF and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on the biological behavior and angiogenesis of human stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs). METHODOLOGY i-PRF and PRF were obtained from venous blood by two different centrifugation methods, followed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to quantify the growth factors. SCAPs were cultured with different concentrations of i-PRF extract (i-PRFe) and PRF extract (PRFe), and the optimal concentrations were selected using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The cell proliferation and migration potentials of SCAPs were then observed using the CCK-8 and Transwell assays. Mineralization ability was detected by alizarin red staining (ARS), and angiogenesis ability was detected by tube formation assay. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to evaluate the expression of genes related to mineralization and angiogenesis. The data were subjected to statistical analysis. RESULTS i-PRF and PRF showed a similar three-dimensional fibrin structure, while i-PRF released a higher concentration of growth factors than PRF ( P <.05). 1/4× i-PRFe and 1/4× PRFe were selected as the optimal concentrations. The cell proliferation rate of the i-PRFe group was higher than that of the PRFe group ( P <.05), while no statistical difference was observed between them in terms of cell mitigation ( P >.05). More importantly, our results showed that i-PRFe had a stronger effect on SCAPs than PRFe in facilitating mineralization and angiogenesis, with the consistent result of RT-qPCR ( P <.05). CONCLUSION This study revealed that i-PRF released a higher concentration of growth factors and was superior to PRF in promoting proliferation, mineralization and angiogenesis of SCAPs, which indicates that i-PRF could be a promising biological scaffold for application in pulp regeneration.

Impact of aminopenicillin administration routes on antimicrobial effects of platelet-rich fibrin: An in-vitro investigation. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2024; 125:101725. [PMID: 38048907 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2023.101725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/06/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of different aminopenicillin administration routes on the antimicrobial effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). METHODS We enrolled patients undergoing treatment with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (AMC) orally or ampicillin/sulbactam (SAM) intravenously. AMC was applied in a single oral dose (875/125 mg), or in a double oral dose (1750/250 mg), and SAM in a dose of 2000/1000 mg. Blood was obtained one hour after the intake of AMC or 15 min after the infusion of SAM ended. Antimicrobial effects were investigated in agar diffusion tests with fresh PRF, PRF stored for 24, and PRF stored for 48 h. Agar diffusion tests were performed with Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Inhibition zones (IZs) around a 6 mm PRF disc were measured after 24 h. RESULTS IZs for fresh PRF and the single oral dose of AMC were 0.0, 4.7, 15.2, 2.3, and 0.9 mm (E. coli, S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, and P. gingivalis, respectively). For the double oral dose, these values were 0.0, 11.4, 20.0, 8.1, and 7.4 mm. IZs for SAM were 11.9, 18.2, 24.7, 20.3, and 22.1 mm. Differences between parenteral and oral application as well as between different oral doses were significant (p<0.0001, one-way ANOVA). DISCUSSION The results of our study demonstrate that oral administration is a suitable route to load PRF with these drugs. This could expand the scope of PRF application to prevent infections at the surgical site, especially in an outpatient setting in which drugs are normally applied orally.

Abstract
Background/Purpose The present study aimed to investigate plastic tubes without additives as alternatives to glass and silica-coated plastic tubes, in the production of PRF membranes. Materials and Methods Nine blood samples were collected from eight volunteers (n = 8) separated into three groups, according to tube material: glass, silica-coated plastic, and plastic without additives. In each group, the samples were centrifuged using different relative centrifugation forces: L-PRF (700 g/12 min), A-PRF (200 g/14 min), and A-PRF + (200 g/8 min). The generated membranes were evaluated by histomorphometry, considering the fibrin network, platelet aggregates, and cellular morphology, by light microscopy. The ultrastructural cellular morphology integrity was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. Results The L-PRF (p < 0.019) and A-PRF (p < 0.001) membranes showed a significantly lower fibrin network density in plastic tubes without additives compared to glass and silica-coated plastic tubes. Plastic tubes without additives revealed a significantly higher platelet percentage, regardless of the protocol (p < 0.005). In all groups, TEM analysis showed preserved normal morphological ultrastructure, maintaining the integrity of cellular components. Conclusion Plastic tubes without additives offer a viable alternative for producing PRF membranes. They exhibited a higher platelet density and demonstrated fibrin network and cellular morphology similar to those of glass and silica-coated plastic tubes, irrespective of the centrifugation protocol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess and compare the concentrations of growth factors, white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets in injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) derived from people with healthy periodontal conditions and those with chronic periodontitis. METHODS Venous blood samples were obtained from 30 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis (test group) and 30 participants with healthy periodontal conditions (control group). The i-PRF was then acquired from centrifuged blood. The growth factors (VEGF, IGF-1, TGF-β1, PDGF-BB and EGF) released from the i-PRF samples were compared between groups with ELISA testing. The amounts of WBCs and platelets were also compared. RESULTS No significant differences in the concentrations of growth factors were found between the groups (the mean values for the control and test groups were, respectively: IGF: 38.82, 42.46; PDGF: 414.25, 466.28; VEGF: 375.69, 412.18; TGF-β1: 21.50, 26.21; EGF: 138.62, 154.82). The test group exhibited a significantly higher WBC count than the control group (8.80 vs. 6.60, respectively). However, the platelet count did not show a statistically significant difference between the groups (control group 242.0 vs. test group 262.50). No significant correlation was observed between WBC count and growth factor level in either group. CONCLUSIONS The growth factor levels in i-PRFs did not exhibit significant difference between the two groups. This suggests that the levels of these growth factors may be unaffected by the periodontal disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE The complications of surgical treatments of stress urinary incontinence have led to the search for less invasive and safer treatment procedures. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of locally administered injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), an autologous material that plays an important role in tissue regeneration, in women with stress urinary incontinence. METHODS Thirty-four women were included in this prospective, single-center, and interventional study, suffering from stress urinary incontinence refractory to conservative treatment. Three consecutive i-PRF injections were applied to the mid-urethra localization at anterior vaginal wall with an interval of 1 month. ICIQ-SF, UDI-6, IIQ-7 and POPDI-6 questionnaires were used to measure pre‑treatment, 1 month and 6 months post‑treatment symptom severity and the clinical outcomes were recorded. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 51.5 ± 9.8 years. ICIQ-SF, UDI-6, IIQ-7 and POPDI-6 questionnaires results revealed significant clinical improvement of stress urinary incontinence severity afer the administration of i-PRF (p < 0.001). The results at 1 and 6 months after treatment did not change statistically significantly. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that locally administiration of i-PRF is efective in relieving SUI symptoms with high success rates without any adverse effects reported. i-PRF injection may have the potential to be a novel, minimally invasive, and low-risk procedure, that could be an alternative and simple treatment modality to surgery for female patients with stress urinary incontinence. Additionally, it may create new avenues for research on therapeutic implementation of i-PRF.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a dysbiosis-driven inflammatory disease affecting the tooth-supporting tissues, characterized by their progressive resorption, which can ultimately lead to tooth loss. A step-wise therapeutic approach is employed for periodontitis. After an initial behavioral and non-surgical phase, intra-bony or furcation defects may be amenable to regenerative procedures. This review discusses the regenerative technologies employed for periodontal regeneration, highlighting the current limitations and future research areas. The search, performed on the MEDLINE database, has identified the available biomaterials, including biologicals (autologous platelet concentrates, hydrogels), bone grafts (pure or putty), and membranes. Biologicals and bone grafts have been critically analyzed in terms of composition, mechanism of action, and clinical applications. Although a certain degree of periodontal regeneration is predictable in intra-bony and class II furcation defects, complete defect closure is hardly achieved. Moreover, treating class III furcation defects remains challenging. The key properties required for functional regeneration are discussed, and none of the commercially available biomaterials possess all the ideal characteristics. Therefore, research is needed to promote the advancement of more effective and targeted regenerative therapies for periodontitis. Lastly, improving the design and reporting of clinical studies is suggested by strictly adhering to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 statement.

Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a widely used autologous blood concentrate in regenerative medicine. This study aimed to characterize the cellular composition and distribution of different PRF matrices generated by high (710 g) and low (44 g) relative centrifugal forces (RCFs) and to analyze their bioactivity on human primary osteoblasts (pOBs). PRF was separated into upper layer (UL) and buffy coat (BC) fractions, and their cellular contents were assessed using histological and immunohistochemical staining. The release of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF-β) was quantified using an ELISA. Indirect PRF treatment on pOBs was performed to evaluate cell viability and morphology. A histological analysis revealed higher quantities of leukocytes and platelets in the low-RCF PRF. TGF-β release was significantly higher in the low-RCF PRF compared to the high-RCF PRF. All PRF fractions promoted pOB proliferation regardless of the centrifugation protocol used. The low-RCF PRF showed higher TGF-β levels than the high-RCF PRF. These findings contribute to understanding the cellular mechanisms of PRF and provide insights into optimizing PRF protocols for bone regeneration, advancing regenerative medicine, and improving patient outcomes.

[PMID: 38641925 DOI: 10.1111/jocd.16333] [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: 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.

Treatment of Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis with the Use of Growth Factors in Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin for Immediate Closure of Oro-Antral Communication: A Case Report. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4339. [PMID: 38673924 PMCID: PMC11049874 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25084339] [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: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (COMS), a prolonged inflammation of the maxillary sinus lasting over 12 weeks, is often a result of periapical lesions, marginal periodontitis, and complications like oro-antral communication (OAC) and fistula (OAF). OAC, commonly emerging post-teeth extraction in the lateral maxilla, lacks documented treatments using advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF). This study evaluates A-PRF's efficacy in treating COMS and immediately sealing extensive OAC. A case of a 28-year-old male with COMS linked to a periapical lesion and supernumerary molars is presented. Treatment involved extracting specific teeth while preserving adjacent ones and using A-PRF for immediate OAC closure. A-PRF, enriched with growth factors, was pivotal in healing, showcasing enhanced tissue regeneration, pain reduction, and faster recovery. The findings suggest A-PRF as an effective adjunct in treating extensive OAC and COMS, proposing its inclusion in standard treatment protocols. This study underscores A-PRF's potential in improving outcomes for patients with COMS and related complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether intra-mucosal injection of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) can promote healing after Diode Laser Gingival Depigmentation (DLGD). METHODOLOGY A total of 20 arch sites of hyperpigmented gingiva of 10 patients underwent DLGD. For each patient, two arch sites were randomly assigned for either intra-mucosal injection of i-PRF (G1-i-PRF) (n=10 sites) or no treatment (G2-Control): (n=10 sites). Wound Healing Score (WHS), patient satisfaction, and Pigmentation Index (DOPI) were measured at 1 week and 1 and 3 months postoperatively. Histological assessment of tissue specimens was performed at baseline and 1 week. RESULTS The percentage change in WHS at 1 week was significantly higher in G1 (58.34±15.43) compared to G2 (37.50±11.79). At day 1, 50% of patients in G1 were pain free compared with 75% in G2, who had mild pain. Mean DOPI decreased significantly at 3 months in both groups (P-value <0.001), without significant differences between groups. G1 specimens showed significantly higher epithelial thickness (P-value <0.001), as well as a higher number of blood vessels and less percentage of inflammatory cells. CONCLUSIONS i-PRF demonstrated better clinical and histological healing potential and less patient discomfort compared to sites without treatment after DLGD.

Abstract
The understanding that tumor cells might evade immunity through various mutations and the potential of an augmented immune system to eliminate abnormal cells led to the idea of utilizing platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a blood concentrate containing the body's immune elements as an adjunctive therapy for localized tumors. This study is the first that evaluated the effect of PRF generated with different relative centrifugal forces (RCFs) on osteoblastic and fibroblastic tumor cell lines MG63 and HT1080 with regard to cell viability, cytokine and growth factor release, and the gene expression of factors related to the cell cycle and apoptosis. Our findings could demonstrate decreased cell proliferation of MG63 and HT1080 when treated indirectly with PRF compared to cell cultures without PRF. This effect was more distinct when the cells were treated with low-RCF PRF, where higher concentrations of growth factors and cytokines with reduced RCFs can be found. Similar patterns were observed when assessing the regulation of gene expression related to the cell cycle and apoptosis in both MG63 and HT1080 cells treated with PRF. Despite variations, there was a consistent trend of an up-regulation of tumor-suppressive genes and a down-regulation of anti-apoptotic genes in both cell types following treatment with high- and, particularly, low-RCF PRF formulations.

[PMID: 38534527 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11030253] [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: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has assumed an important role in supporting tissue regeneration in different fields. To date, the standard protocol for liquid PRF requires at least 10 mL of peripheral blood. The present study aimed to analyze the composition, growth factor release, and effects on the cell proliferation of PRF samples produced using 3 mL vs. 10 mL of peripheral blood in vitro. Peripheral venous blood from six healthy donors was used to prepare liquid PRF using either 3 mL or 10 mL tubes. Three different centrifugation protocols were used according to the low-speed centrifugation concept. The cellular distribution was evaluated using immunohistology and automated cell count. ELISA was used to determine the release of different growth factors (EGF, TGF-β1, and PDGF) and interleukin 8 at different time points. Primary human osteoblasts (pOBs) were cultivated for 7 days using PRF-conditioned media acquired from either 3 mL or 10 mL of peripheral blood. The results showed that 3 mL of peripheral blood is sufficient to produce a liquid PRF concentrate similar to that acquired when using 10 mL blood. The concentrations of platelets and leukocytes were comparable regardless of the initial blood volume (3 mL vs. 10 mL). Similarly, the release of growth factors (EGF, TGF-β1, and PDGF) and interleukin 8 was often comparable in both groups over 7 days. The cultivation of pOBs using PRF-conditioned media showed a similar proliferation rate regardless of the initial blood volume. This proliferation rate was also similar to that of pOBs treated with 20% FBS-conditioned media. These findings validated the use of 3 mL of peripheral blood to generate liquid PRF matrices according to the low-speed centrifugation concept, which may open new application fields for research purposes such as in vivo experiments and clinical applications such as pediatric surgery.

Does Liquid/Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin Help in the Arthrocentesis Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder Compared to Other Infusion Options? A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:247. [PMID: 38534521 PMCID: PMC10968122 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11030247] [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: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are prevalent musculoskeletal conditions involving pain and dysfunction of jaw mobility and function, which have proven difficult to treat satisfactorily. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a liquid platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) infusion during arthrocentesis versus other options using coadjuvant materials to reduce TMD symptoms. A literature search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov for RCTs published before January 2024, comparing i-PRF to any other TMD treatment. This systematic review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023495364). The searches generated several recent RCTs that compared i-PRF injection combined with arthrocentesis (AC) to AC-only or AC with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The outcomes analyzed included measures of pain (visual analog scale, VAS), maximum mouth opening, joint sounds, and MRI-verified changes in joint structure. Across the RCTs, the addition of i-PRF injection to AC resulted in significant improvements in pain relief, joint function, mouth opening, and structural changes compared to AC-only or with PRP over follow-up periods ranging from 6 to 12 months. Current clinical evidence favors using i-PRF as an adjunct to AC rather than AC-only or AC with PRP for the treatment of TMDs. The improvements in subjective and objective outcome measures are clinically meaningful. Still, additional high-quality RCTs with larger sample sizes and longer follow-ups are required to strengthen the evidence base and better define the role of i-PRF in TMD management guidelines.

Advanced platelet rich fibrin demonstrates improved osteogenic induction potential in human periodontal ligament cells, growth factor production and mechanical properties as compared to leukocyte and platelet fibrin and injectable platelet rich fibrin. Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 28:413-424. [PMID: 37269407 DOI: 10.1007/s10006-023-01160-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This cross-sectional invitro research aimed to compare and contrast the macroscopic and microscopic, mechanical and biochemical features of leukocyte-rich platelet-rich fibrin, advanced platelet-rich fibrin, and injectable platelet-rich fibrin. MATERIALS AND METHODS In all, 150 samples were taken from males aged 18 to 25 with good systemic health (n = 50 each for i-PRF, A-PRF, and L-PRF). The samples were assessed for clot length, clot width, membrane length and width. Microscopic parameters assessed were the distribution of cells and fibrin structure. Mechanical tests were performed for tensile strength using a universal testing machine and growth factor analysis was performed for platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and transforming growth factor (TGF)- β on Days 1, 3 and 7 using commercially available ELISA kits. The osteogenic potential was analyzed in a culture of human periodontal ligament cells for 21 days using cell viability assay, alkaline phosphatase formation and alizarin red staining for mineralization. RESULTS L-PRF demonstrates statistically superior clot length, width, weight, membrane length, width and weight in comparison to A-PRF (p < 0.05). L-PRF demonstrates a denser fibrin structure in comparison to A-PRF and i-PRF (p < 0.05). The cells in L-PRF are most commonly situated in the proximal of the clot where as they are distributed in the proximal and middle aspect for A-PRF(p < 0.05). A-PRF demonstrates the highest tensile strength followed by L-PRF (p < 0.05). When growth factor release was evaluated, A-PRF showed noticeably increased release of all growth factors, namely PDGF-BB, TGF-ß, and VEGF, in comparison to i-PRF and L-PRF (p < 0.05). On days 7 and 14, the cell viability of human periodontal ligament cells in co-culture with A-PRF was statistically substantially greater than that of L-PRF and i-PRF (p < 0.05). Alkaline phosphatase levels were statistically substantially higher in A-PRF, followed by i-PRF and L-PRF on days 14 and 21 (p < 0.05). After 21 days of culture, A-PRF treated cultures had much more Alizarin Red staining than L-PRF and i-PRF cultures did (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION It was determined that although L-PRF exhibits greater size and weight in comparison to A-PRF and i-PRF, A-PRF has superior mechanical properties, increased growth factor releases of TGF-b, PDGF-BB, and VEGF as well as superior cell viability, alkaline phosphatase production, and mineralization on human periodontal ligament cells. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Based on these findings, A-PRF can be recommended for improved delivery of growth factors and osteogenesis whereas L-PRF is better-suited for applications relying on the size of membrane.

Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), derived from human blood, rich in wound healing components, has drawbacks in direct injections, such as rapid matrix degradation and growth factor release. Marine polysaccharides, mimicking the human extracellular matrix, show promising potential in tissue engineering. In this study, we impregnated the self-assembled fucoidan/chitosan (FU_CS) hydrogels with PRF obtaining PRF/FU_CS hydrogels. Our objective was to analyze the properties of a hydrogel and the sustained release of growth factors from the hydrogel that incorporates PRF. The results of SEM and BET-BJH demonstrated the relatively porous nature of the FU_CS hydrogels. ELISA data showed that combining FU_CS hydrogel with PRF led to a gradual 7-day sustained release of growth factors (VEGF, EGF, IL-8, PDGF-BB, TGF-β1), compared to pure PRF. Histology confirmed ELISA data, demonstrating uniform PRF fibrin network distribution within the FU_CS hydrogel matrix. Furthermore, the FU_CS hydrogels revealed excellent cell viability. The results revealed that the PRF/FU_CS hydrogel has the potential to promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. This would be the first step in the search for improved growth factor release.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin clot (PRF) and conventional oroantral communication (OAC) repair techniques following tooth extractions from the maxilla. The study involved 22 patients, divided into 2 groups: a study group treated with PRF and a control group undergoing conventional OAC repair. The primary outcome measured was the effectiveness of OAC closure, with pain intensity and postoperative complications as secondary outcomes. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to evaluate post-extraction bone regeneration. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on days 0, 1, 7, and 14 postoperatively. The results showed that the PRF group experienced a significant decrease in pain within the first 24 hours and after 7 days (P < .0001; P < .05). In contrast, complications were reported in 45.45% of patients in the conventional repair group and 18.18% in the A-PRF group. Three months postsurgery, CBCT revealed appreciable bone healing in both groups, with no significant difference (P > .05). In conclusion, the study suggests that A-PRF treatment for OACs resulted in fewer complications and quicker pain reduction than traditional repair methods, making it a promising alternative for managing OACs. However, future studies are needed to confirm these findings and establish the full therapeutic potential of PRF.

Abstract
Concentrated growth factor (CGF), which is a third-generation platelet concentrate product, exhibits good potential for repair and regeneration of soft and hard tissues, and has gradually attracted attention in the field of cosmetic plastic surgery. The purpose of this review is to summarize the application and research of CGF in the field of facial rejuvenation and plastic surgery. A comprehensive review of the literature about the applications of CGF in facial rejuvenation and plastic surgery was conducted in PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Web of Science. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 22 articles were included in this review. In recent years, CGF has been applied in many aspects in the field of facial rejuvenation and plastic surgery, including skin photoaging, repairment of soft-tissue defects, rhinoplasty, hair loss, autologous fat transplantation, and scars. In addition, no significant adverse reactions have been reported so far. CGF is rich in high-concentration growth factors, which has great potential and application prospects in facial rejuvenation and plastic surgery. However, the applications of CGF still have some problems, such as the mechanism, time of decomposition, and long-term efficacy and safety, which are needed to be resolved in future.

Evaluation of the effect of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) in wound healing and growth factor release in rats: a split-mouth study. Growth Factors 2024; 42:36-48. [PMID: 38058166 DOI: 10.1080/08977194.2023.2289375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
This experimental study aimed to evaluate the effects of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) on mucosal healing and the release of growth factors in rats. 40 rats were used; i-PRF was administered in the right buccal area while saline was injected in the left. Cytokeratin, FGF, PDGF, TGF, and VEGF expressions were determined with immunohistochemistry. Gene expressions of EGF, TGF-β, and VEGF were analysed. Epithelialization started on the 3rd day, and connective tissue maturation was more prominent in the i-PRF-applied group. Also, the releases of VEGF, EGF, TGF-β, PDGF, and FGF were higher in the i-PRF group during the 14 days. Gene expression analysis showed that changes in TGF-β at 14 days after i-PRF injection and VEGF after 21 days were statistically significant. The results of this study suggested that autologous i-PRF application enhanced the healing of oral mucosal wounds by increasing the release of growth factors for 21 days.

Evaluation of the efficacy of injectable platelet-rich fibrin versus platelet-rich plasma in the regeneration of traumatized necrotic immature maxillary anterior teeth: A randomized clinical trial. Dent Traumatol 2024; 40:61-75. [PMID: 37612879 DOI: 10.1111/edt.12881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM This study aimed at comparing the regenerative potential of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) (Group 1) and platelet-rich plasma (Group 2) scaffolds. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-three patients, aged from 9 to 24 years, having 24 immature traumatized necrotic maxillary anterior teeth, were enrolled. Teeth trauma was confirmed by patients' history. Preoperative three-dimensional scans were done. In the first visit, canals were irrigated with 1.5% sodium hypochlorite then medicated with calcium hydroxide. After 2 weeks, patients were randomly assigned into one of the treatment groups (n = 12). The platelet concentrate was applied after centrifuging 10 mL of autologous venous blood with respect to the centrifugation protocol for each platelet concentrate. Patients were recalled at 6 and 12 months posttreatment, during which clinical and radiographic examinations and assessment of pulp sensitivity were done. Three-dimensional scanning was done after 12 months. The increase in root length and decrease in root canal diameters were calculated at three canal levels. Statistical analysis was done using the paired t-test and the independent t-test. The significance level was set at p < .05. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding the increase in root length, decrease in coronal and middle canal diameters and the response to the electric pulp tester. Group (1) showed significantly greater decrease in apical canal diameter than Group (2) (p = .008). CONCLUSION I-PRF can be considered as a valid regenerative scaffold for clinical use and with regards to the easier preparation technique, it is more recommended than platelet-rich plasma.

Abstract
The use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has seen widespread advantages over platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in many fields of medicine. However, until 2014, PRF remained clinically available only in its solid clotted form. Modifications to centrifugation protocols and tube technology have led to the development of a liquid injectable version of PRF (i-PRF). This narrative review takes a look back at the technological developments made throughout the past decade and further elaborates on their future clinical applications. Topics covered include improvements in isolation techniques and protocols, ways to further concentrate i-PRF, and the clinical impact and relevance of cooling i-PRF. Next, various uses of i-PRF are discussed, including its use in regenerative periodontology, implantology, endodontics, temporomandibular joint injections, and orthodontic tooth movement. Furthermore, various indications in medicine are also covered, including its use in sports injuries and osteoarthritis of various joints, treatment of diabetic ulcers/wound care, and facial esthetics and hair regrowth. Finally, future applications are discussed, mainly its use as a drug delivery vehicle for small biomolecules, such as growth factors, antibiotics, exosomes, and other medications that may benefit from the controlled and gradual release of biomolecules over time.

Abstract
Background Periapical diseases are common dental conditions that require non-surgical endodontic intervention (NEI) for successful treatment. However, the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the periapical healing (PH) outcome in diabetic patients remains somewhat unclear. This review aimed to evaluate the PH outcome following endodontic intervention among DM-afflicted individuals. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple electronic databases to identify relevant studies. Specifically devised selection criteria were applied to select studies that assessed PH outcomes in DM sufferers undergoing different treatment protocols. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed following predetermined protocols. ROB - 2 risk assessment tool assessed quality of the included studies. Results A total of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the investigation. Four studies showed greater occurrence of apical periodontitis and five of them reduced healing and success rate in diabetic as compared to controls. Overall, nine studies showed that diabetes mellitus affected periapical outcome negatively. This suggests that diabetes mellitus is an important factor in the prognosis of endodontic intervention. Assessment tools used were PAI, PR, SC and FD analysis. RoB-2 assessed the included studies to have moderate risk of bias. Conclusion This review provided compelling evidence that DM patients experienced a noticeable negative impact on PH outcome as compared to control population. These findings highlight the importance of considering the diabetic status of patients when assessing the prognosis of periapical diseases and planning NEI interventions. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore potential mechanisms underlying the observed associations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pre-vascularization of the collagen membranes with autologous platelet concentrates is a standard procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery. This study analyzed the possible interaction of an acellular collagen membrane of porcine origin (NM) with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) regarding its rehydration protocol with differences in pH values and effect on angiogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS NM was analyzed alone and combined with solid PRF by plotting or co-culturing with injectable PRF. Different media (venous blood, buffer solution with a fixed pH value of 7, saline solution, and injectable PRF) were used to analyze the influence on pH value during rehydration. Chorion allantois membrane assay (CAM) was applied to check pro-angiogenic effects after 24, 48, and 72 h, followed by immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS Rehydration in injectable PRF showed acidity over time (p < 0.05). A definite pro-angiogenic effect of NM alone was found regarding neo-vessel formation supported by the respective light microscopically analysis without significant differences to PRF alone (p > 0.005). This pro-angiogenic effect could not be exaggerated when NM was combined with liquid/solid PRF (each p > 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Rehydration with liquid PRF of the collagen membrane results in acidity compared to a saline solution or patient's blood. The significant pro-angiogenic potential of the membrane alone resulted in enhanced neo-vessel formation that could not be optimized with the addition of PRF. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Using injectable PRF for rehydration protocol of the collagen membrane leads to acidosis that can ultimately optimize wound healing. Differences in the physio-mechanical interplay of collagen matrices and autologous platelet concentrates must result in clinical algorithms if pre-vascularization can maximize outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of wound healing using injectable platelet-rich fibrin (IPRF) after gingivectomy and gingivoplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this clinical study, 46 systemically healthy patients with chronic inflammatory gingival enlargement were randomly treated with gingivectomy-gingivoplasty + I-PRF (n=23) or gingivectomy-gingivoplasty alone (n=23). The primary outcome was to evaluate the effect of I-PRF on wound healing over a 3-week follow-up period. Samples collected from gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were processed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELİSA) to measure VEGF and FGF-10 biomarkers. The surgical areas were stained with Mira-2 tone and evaluated in ImageJ. Wound healing was evaluated with Modified Manchester Scar (MMS) scale and Landry, Turnbull, and Howley (LTH) index. RESULTS VEGF values of the control group at baseline, week 2, and week 3 were significantly higher than the test group. In weeks 2 and 3, FGF-10 values were found to be significantly higher in the control group than the test group. The amount of staining was found to be significantly higher in the control group than in the test group on days 3, 7, and 14. LTH values of the control group were significantly lower than the test group and MMS values were significantly higher than those of the test group. CONCLUSIONS I-PRF applications revealed positive effects on epithelial wound healing after gingivectomy and gingivoplasty operations. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Platelet concentrates such as I-PRF accelerate wound healing and contribute to the patient's comfort and quality of life. I-PRF application may have positive effects on wound healing after gingivectomy and gingivoplasty operations.

Akpınar H, Ayrancı F. Is Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin Really Effective in Reducing Expected Side Effects of Removing Impacted Third Molar Surgery? J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 82:102-112. [PMID: 37858598 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.09.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Common side effects of third molar (M3) operations including pain, edema, and trismus have an adverse effect on patient quality of life. Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) may ameliorate some of the side effects of the operation. PURPOSE The primary purpose of this study is to measure and compare differences in pain, swelling, trismus, and quality of life between i-PRF side and a control side of subjects undergoing M3 removal. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING AND SAMPLE This study is a single-center, split-mouth, randomized prospective clinical trial conducted at Ordu University Faculty of Dentistry. Patients who presented between March and August 2022 for the extraction of impacted third molars due to various reasons were included in the study. The exclusion criteria were local conditions and systematic comorbidities. Additionally, patients with differences that could cause bias between the sides were excluded from the study. PREDICTOR VARIABLE The predictor variable is treatment i-PRF or control. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLE The outcome variables of interest are the pain level and analgesic consumption values on the Visual Analog Scale, the distance between determined reference points, maximum mouth opening, and the Postoperative Symptom Severity scale data. A Postoperative Symptom Severity scale was created using questions commonly employed in the clinical evaluation of patients following the extraction of third molars. This scale was further divided into subscales corresponding to the 7 primary adverse effects identified in a prior study. COVARIATES Covariate variables, sex, age, and operation times. ANALYSES The normality of the distribution of the study data was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Depending on whether the data exhibited a normal distribution or not, the data were analyzed using either the paired t-test or the Wilcoxon test. A P value < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The study included 35 patients with a mean age of 19.97 ± 2.07 years. The i-PRF side significant success in postoperative edema measurements. There was a statistically significant difference observed between the control side and the i-PRF side on the second day (control: 9.74 ± 0.57 mm, i-PRF: 9.46 ± 0.51 mm) and seventh day (control: 9.33 ± 0.59 mm, i-PRF: 9.12 ± 0.50 mm) in lateral canthus-angulus measurements (P: .01 and P: .04, respectively). Additionally, on the second day, there was a statistically significant difference in tragus-commisura measurements (control: 11.53 ± 0.62 mm, i-PRF: 11.31 ± 0.58 mm) with a P value of .02. There was no significant difference observed between the sides in terms of postoperative pain (P > .05). However, analgesic consumption in the i-PRF side was significantly lower at the sixth hour (control: 1.8 ± 0.58 dose, i-PRF: 1.14 ± 0.35 dose), 24th hour (control: 1.77 ± 0.54 dose, i-PRF: 1.14 ± 0.35 dose), and second day (control: 1.8 ± 0.47 dose, i-PRF: 1.4 ± 0.73 dose) postoperatively (P: .000, P: .000, and P: .012). Mouth opening was significantly lower in the i-PRF side on the second day (control: 27.88 ± 6.48 mm, i-PRF: 25.51 ± 5.56 mm) (P: .025). However, i-PRF had no significant effect on postoperative quality of life (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS According to the study results, i-PRF had a limited effect on the management of postoperative pain, but i-PRF was effective in reducing postoperative edema. Further studies with larger patient sides are now needed to yield more detailed findings on the subject.

[PMID: 38188907 PMCID: PMC10770610 DOI: 10.1016/j.jobcr.2023.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of micro needling (MN) on gingival thickness (GT) and keratinized tissue width (KTW) in individuals with thin gingival phenotypes, either with or without injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF). Materials and methods In this randomized, split-mouth clinical trial, 15 systemically healthy patients, with thin gingival phenotype (<1.5 mm) were randomly treated with MN + i-PRF and MN. MN was performed on one side, and MN + i-PRF on the contralateral side of the same arch at 4 sessions with 10-day intervals. GT; KTW the primary outcome and Plaque index; gingival index Secondary outcome were assessed at baseline and at 1st, 3rd, and 6th months post-treatment. Results The results of the present study showed that both techniques demonstrated a statistically significant increase in GT. GT showed a statistically significant increase from baseline (0.453 ± 0.069 mm in MN, 0.451 ± 0.069 mm in MN + i-PRF) (p = 0.81) to 1 month (0.567 ± 0.075 mm in MN, 0.649 ± 0.075 mm in MN + i-PRF) (p < 0.001*). A follow-up at 3rd month (0.566 ± 0.076 mm in MN, 0.647 ± 0.091 mm in MN + i-PRF) (p < 0.001*) and 6th month (0.564 ± 0.076 mm in MN, 0.644 ± 0.089 mm in MN + i-PRF) (p < 0.001*) showed a statistically significant increase. Intergroup comparison showed a statistically significant GT increase in MN + i-PRF sites at all the time intervals. No, statistically significant difference in KTW was observed in both groups from baseline to 6 months. Conclusions The utilization of MN + i-PRF stands as a minimally invasive, non-surgical method to improve GT. Interestingly, using i-PRF as an additional component demonstrated more favorable outcomes compared to using MN alone in enhancing tissue thickness.

Abstract
Apical cysts are typically caused by dental pulp disease and are difficult to treat. In the majority of cases, surgical intervention is required. The rate of success after apical osteotomy varies between 60% and 91%. The introduction of platelet concentrates in treating chronic apical periodontitis is a promising direction for achieving quick and secure results. This article examines the healing of a sizable apical cyst after conservative surgical intervention and the application of platelet concentrate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate the potential clinical and biochemical effects of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) application adjunct to scaling and root planning (ScRp) in deep periodontal pockets. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this split-mouth-designed study, 17 patients with 34 deep periodontal pockets were randomly treated with ScRp + i-PRF (test group) and ScRp + saline (control group). Clinical periodontal measurements were recorded at baseline, 1st, 3rd, and 6th months after the treatments. The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin (IL)-10 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were analyzed using the ELISA method at baseline, 7th, and 14th days. RESULTS Clinical periodontal parameters showed significant improvements with both treatment modalities. Mean pocket reduction (PD) and clinical attachment (CAL) gain were significantly higher in the test group than in controls at follow-up visits (p < 0.05). In the test group, gingival recession (GR) values were significantly lower compared to the control group. VEGF and IL-10 levels in the test group were significantly higher than in controls at the 14th day, and TNF-α levels were found significantly lower in the test group at the 7th and 14th days. CONCLUSIONS Especially in the test group, the significant increase in VEGF and IL-10 expressions and the decrease in TNF-α levels may have accelerated the periodontal healing observed in the clinical parameters. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The result of the present study demonstrated the beneficial effects of adjunctive i-PRF administration during non-surgical periodontal treatment of deep periodontal pockets. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05753631.

Clinical and patient-reported outcomes of periodontal phenotype modification therapy using injectable platelet rich fibrin with microneedling and free gingival grafts: A prospective clinical trial. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023; 125:101744. [PMID: 38128879 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2023.101744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinical non-inferiority of injectable platelet-rich fibrin and micro-needling (iPRF+MN) with free gingival grafting (FGG) in periodontal phenotype modification therapy. METHODOLOGY Twenty participants with a gingival thickness (GT)<0.8 mm in the mandibular anterior region were included. The participants were randomly allocated into i-PRF+MN and FGG groups. i-PRF injection was done, and MN was done with the help of a lancet in the i-PRF+MN group. The clinical parameters, i.e., GT and Keratinized tissue width (KTW), were evaluated at baseline, 3 and 6 months post-operatively. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs), i.e., discomfort and esthetic satisfaction, were assessed using the visual analogue score(VAS) at one week and 3 months of re-evaluation, respectively. RESULTS Both groups showed a significant increase in GT and KTW with no intergroup variation (P-0.32, 0.48respectively) at the end of 6 months. However, the i-PRF+ MN group showed better PROs, i.e., less discomfort(1.11±0.60) and better esthetic satisfaction(8.77±0.44). CONCLUSION The non-invasive treatment of i-PRF+MN may lead to non-inferior clinical outcomes after 6 months with better PROs compared to more invasive FGG protocols in phenotype modification therapy.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a chronic multifactorial condition that affects the skeletal system, leading to the deterioration of bone microstructure and an increased risk of bone fracture. Platelet-derived biomaterials (PDBs), so-called platelet concentrates, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), have shown potential for improving bone healing by addressing microstructural impairment. While the administration of platelet concentrates has yielded positive results in bone regeneration, the optimal method for its administration in the clinical setting is still debatable. This comprehensive review aims to explore the systemic and local use of PRP/PRF for treating various bone defects and acute fractures in patients with osteoporosis. Furthermore, combining PRP/PRF with stem cells or osteoinductive and osteoconductive biomaterials has shown promise in restoring bone microstructural properties, treating bony defects, and improving implant osseointegration in osteoporotic animal models. Here, reviewing the results of in vitro and in vivo studies, this comprehensive evaluation provides a detailed mechanism for how platelet concentrates may support the healing process of osteoporotic bone fractures.

Abstract
Bone regeneration in dentistry is a dynamic approach for treating critical size bone defects that are unlikely to self-heal. Human bone marrow stem cell (hBMSCs) therapies are being tested clinically for various disorders and have remarkable clinical advancements in bone regeneration. Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), which is obtained from autologous blood centrifuged at 700 rpm (60 G) for 3 min can promote osteogenic differentiation of this cell, but the mechanism remains unclear. The objectives of this study were to explore the contents of i-PRF further and investigate its effect on the cell behavior of hBMSCs and the underlying molecular mechanisms. The results showed that i-PRF contained 41 cytokines, including macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and β-nerve growth factor (β-NGF), which had not been reported before. The Cell Counting Kit-8 and wound healing assay showed that 10% and 20% i-PRF improved the proliferation rate and the migration capacity of hBMSCs without toxicity to cells. Besides, the expression of osteogenic markers and the capacity to form mineralized nodules of hBMSCs were promoted by 20% i-PRF. Furthermore, i-PRF activated the ERK pathway, and the ERK inhibitor attenuated its effects. In summary, i-PRF promotes hBMSCs proliferation and migration and facilitates cell osteogenesis through the ERK pathway, which has promising potential in bone regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate, through a network meta-analysis, the effectiveness of blood concentrates in reducing pain perception, trismus, and edema after mandibular third molar extraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was performed in nine databases to locate randomized clinical trials comparing blood concentrate use after mandibular third molar extraction. Two authors selected and extracted the data independently. The individual risk of bias in the studies was assessed with the RoB v2.0 tool. A network meta-analysis compared postoperative pain and trismus scores after applying different blood concentrates, using the mean difference (MD) as an effect estimate. The GRADE approach assessed the certainty of evidence. RESULTS Thirty-one randomized clinical trials were included in the review and 18 in the meta-analysis. Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) was the most used blood concentrate, followed by platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The network meta-analysis, depending on the analyzed period, evaluated up to 1240 surgeries. Among the analyzed blood concentrates, advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) performed better among the analyzed blood concentrates, decreasing postoperative pain in 1, 2, 3, and 7 days and reducing trismus up to the inflammatory peak compared to blood clots. Only two studies had a low risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS Based on very low certainty of evidence, using concentrates seemed efficient compared to blood clots in reducing pain and trismus after mandibular third molar surgeries. A-PRF decreased postoperative pain throughout the evaluated time and trismus during the acute inflammatory peak. CLINICAL RELEVANCE A-PRF after mandibular third molar extractions performed better among the analyzed blood concentrates and seemed efficient in improving postoperative quality by decreasing inflammatory signs and symptoms.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the effect of local injection of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) on bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement in dogs. Materials and Methods In this animal study, the maxillary first premolars of four adult male mixed-breed dogs were bilaterally extracted, and a nickel-titanium closed coil spring with 150 g force was placed between the canine and second premolar teeth. One quadrant of the maxilla was randomly selected as the test quadrant, and 0.5 cc i-PRF was injected into the periodontal ligament (PDL) around the second premolar at 1, 21, and 42 days. The other quadrant served as the control group and received saline injections. The dogs were sacrificed after 63 days, histological sections were prepared, and changes in bone remodeling were assessed by comparing the percentage of osteogenesis and number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts between the two groups by the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U-tests (α = 0.05). Results The percentage of osteogenesis (16.0% ± 4.96% in i-PRF and 13.5% ± 4.43% in the control), the percentage of newly formed lamellar bone (10.25% ± 2.87% in i-PRF and 8.75% ± 2.36% in the control), the percentage of woven bone (5.75% ± 2.21% in i-PRF and 4.75% ± 2.36% in the control), the number of osteoblasts (15.0 ± 3.46 in i-PRF and 11.75 ± 2.36 in the control), and the number of osteoclasts (11.25 ± 4.34 in i-PRF and 6.25 ± 2.62 in the control) were not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion PDL injection of i-PRF around the second premolars of dogs under orthodontic force had no significant effect on bone remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have assessed different aspects concerning the applications of i-PRF in the oral cavity. However, nothing is known regarding patients' perceptions of the injection of autologous platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF). OBJECTIVES To investigate patients' perceptions after injecting platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) in the course of retracting upper canines. METHODS Twenty-one patients, whose treatments required extractions of both upper first premolars, were recruited. Extraction side was randomly allocated to the intervention or control sides. After the alignment phase, i-PRF was injected twice with a one-month interval on the buccal and palatal aspects of the extraction sites (intervention side). Patients' perceptions were evaluated with two questionnaires: the first was used to assess the level of pain, discomfort, swelling, eating and swallowing difficulties as well as jaw movement restriction after 1 h (T1), 2 h (T2), 6 h (T3), 24 h (T4) and 48 h (T5) of the second injection; the second questionnaire was used to assess the acceptance of the i-PRF injection and overall satisfaction with this technique at the end of canine retraction phase. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was adopted for this purpose. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to compare between both sides at all time points while Friedman's Test was the selected test for detecting variables' changes over time. Post-hoc Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Rank Tests were applied when any of the results were significant. As to the multiplicity of tests, Bonferroni Correction was implemented. RESULTS Pain and swelling levels were significantly higher on the experimental compared to the control sides at T1, T2, and T3 (P < 0.05), whereas they declined sharply and went back to almost normal values at T4 (after 24 h). At T5 they were 0. Discomfort and difficulty in mastication on intervention sides were significant only at T1 and T2. Pain, swelling, and chewing difficulties were significant (P < 0.001) during the 4 assessed time points. The increase was insignificant regarding swallowing difficulties and jaw movement limitations at all time intervals. CONCLUSIONS Injecting autologous (i-PRF) during orthodontic canine retraction is a well-perceived and well-tolerated method due to the limited discomfort which significantly diminishes 24 h afterwards.

Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation platelet concentrate whose use in clinical practice has been widely disseminated. This has led to the development of several commercial protocols, creating great confusion as to the terminology and implications of each of them. This integrative review aims to identify the critical factors of each of the phases of the solid-based PRF matrix protocol and their possible influence on their macro- and microscopic characteristics. An electronic search of the MEDLINE database (via PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, and OpenGrey was carried out. The search was temporarily restricted from 2001 to 2022. After searching, 43 studies were included that met the established criteria. There were numerous factors to consider in the PRF protocol, such as the material of the blood collection tubes, the duration of phlebotomy, the parameters related to blood centrifugation, the time from centrifugation to dehydration of the fibrin clots and their dehydration into membranes, as well as the time to clinical use. These factors influenced the macro- and microscopic characteristics of the PRF and its physical properties, so knowledge of these factors allows for the production of optimised PRF by combining the protocols and materials.

Abstract
In dental implantology, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) has emerged as a standard technique to address dimensional changes that affect alveolar ridge morphology following tooth loss. Various alternative graft materials, including xenografts, alloplasts, and allografts, have been effectively employed in fresh extraction sites for ARP. Current evidence suggests that these materials primarily serve as bio-scaffolds, which are slowly incorporated, thus necessitating a waiting period of at least 4-6 months before implant placement. Consequently, the ARP technique extends the overall duration of implant treatment by several months. Recently, the incorporation of a form of autologous platelet concentrate, known as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), has been advocated in conjunction with ARP as a method of bioenhancement of soft- and hard-tissue healing and regeneration. PRF contains platelet-derived growth factors, hormones, and bioactive components like cytokines that have demonstrated the ability to stimulate angiogenesis and tissue regeneration throughout all phases of wound healing. Additionally, the concentration of leukocytes present in the PRF matrix plays a vital role in tissue healing and regeneration as part of the osteoimmune response. The reported advantages of incorporating autogenous PRF platelet concentrates during ARP encompass reduced healing time, improved angiogenesis and bone regeneration, socket sealing through the fibrin matrix, antibacterial properties, and decreased post-extraction pain and infection risk. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to review the existing evidence regarding the application of PRF in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) following tooth extraction. Two clinical case studies are presented, wherein ARP was enhanced with PRF, followed by implant placement within a relatively short period of 8 weeks. These cases serve as further proof of concept for supporting the adjuvant use of PRF to enhance healing and accelerate implant placement after ARP.

Abstract
Human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) exhibit multilineage differentiation capabilities and superior clonogenic and proliferative properties. However, the use of animal-derived components such as FBS raises concerns regarding the clinical application of stem-cell-based therapies. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) derived from human blood is rich in fibrin, platelets, and growth factors and acts as a bioactive scaffold for grafting with biomaterials. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of PRF-conditioned medium (CM) in promoting DPSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation compared with the standard culture medium supplemented with FBS. A comparison of DPSCs cultured in FBS and PRF-CM revealed no differences in characteristics or morphology. However, cells cultured with PRF-CM exhibited inferior proliferation rates and cell numbers during passage in comparison with those cultured with FBS. In contrast, DPSCs cultured in PRF-CM showed significantly higher levels of calcification, and RT-PCR confirmed that the gene expression levels of markers associated with osteoblast differentiation were significantly increased. The PRF-CM approach offers a convenient, straightforward, and advantageous method for culturing DPSCs, without relying on animal-derived components. In summary, this study introduces a novel application of PRF-CM for enhancing the osteogenesis of DPSCs, which provides an alternative to FBS culture medium and addresses concerns associated with the use of animal-derived components in clinical settings.

Clin Exp Dent Res 2023; 9:772-782. [PMID: 37165467 PMCID: PMC10582228 DOI: 10.1002/cre2.747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Free gingival graft (FGG) has been successfully used in the treatment of gingival recessions, as it is the most predictable technique for increasing the attached gingiva. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of liquid platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with FGG on root surface coverage as root surface biomodification. MATERIALS AND METHODS The research sample consisted of 32 surgical sites in 16 patients, they had 2 bilateral recessions in the incisor area of the same dental arch, the sample was divided into 2 groups randomly, and liquid PRF was applied in the first group with the FGG (experimental group), and in the second group the FGG was applied alone (control group). Gingival recession depth (RD) and width of attached gingiva (WAG) were measured before starting, after 1, 3, and 6 months. The percentage of root coverage (RC) was calculated after 6 months. Healing Index (HI) was recorded after 1 week, 2 weeks, and 1 month. RESULTS Both groups showed a reduction in gingival RD during all follow-up periods but the difference between both groups was not statistically significant (p > 0.05) at 1 and 3 months, whereas there were significant differences at 6 months (p = 0.001). RC was better in the liquid PRF group than in the control group, but this difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The postoperative 7th and 14th days HI scores of the liquid PRF group were significantly better than the control group (p = 0.000 and p = 0.004, respectively), whereas there were no significant differences in HI scores between both groups at first month (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS According to the results, the addition of liquid PRF to the root surface with FGG showed further development in terms of decreasing RD, increasing WAG, and accelerated wound-healing.

Int Endod J 2023; 56:1197-1211. [PMID: 37418583 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13954] [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: 10/02/2022] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023]
Abstract
AIM To determine the efficacy of a combination of injectable-platelet-rich fibrin and type-1 collagen particles on the healing of through-and-through periapical bone defect and subsequent closure of bony window. METHODOLOGY The clinical trial was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04391725). Thirty-eight individuals with radiographic evidence of periapical radiolucency in maxillary anterior teeth and confirmed loss of palatal cortical plates in cone beam computed tomographic imaging were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n = 19) or the control group (n = 19). A mixture of i-PRF and collagen as a graft was applied to the defect in adjunct to periapical surgery in the experimental group. No guided bone regeneration procedures were used in the control group. The healing was evaluated using Molven's (2D) and modified PENN 3D (3D) criteria. Percentage reduction of the buccal and palatal bony window area, and complete closure of through-and-through periapical bony window (tunnel defect) were assessed using Radiant Diacom viewer software (Version 4.0.2). The reduction in the periapical lesion area and volume was measured using Corel DRAW and ITK Snap software. RESULTS Thirty-four participants (18 and 16 in the experimental and control groups respectively) reported for follow-up at 12 months. There was 96.9% and 97.96% reduction of buccal bony window area in the experimental and control groups respectively. Similarly, palatal window showed 99.03% and 100% reduction in the experimental and control groups respectively. No significant difference in both buccal and palatal window reduction was noticed between the groups. A total of 14 cases (seven in the experimental group and seven in the control group) showed complete closure of through-and-through bony window. No significant difference in clinical, 2D and 3D radiographic healing, percentage reduction in area and volume was observed between the experimental and control groups (p > .05). Neither the area nor the volume of lesion, and the size of buccal or palatal window had significant effect on healing of through-and-through defects. CONCLUSION Endodontic microsurgery results in high success rate in large periapical lesions with through-and-through communication with more than 80% reduction in volume of lesion and size of both buccal and palatal window after 1 year. A mixture of type-1 collagen particles and i-PRF, adjunct to periapical micro-surgery did not improve the healing in through-and-through periapical defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Different platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) protocols exist and are known to differ in resulting mechanical and bioactive properties. Centrifugation parameters may also influence drug release, in particular antibiotics, when using PRF as a bio-carrier. We thus evaluated three common protocols regarding effects on the bio-carrier properties. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective trial comprising 33 patients, we compared different protocols for PRF as a bio-carrier for ampicillin/sulbactam (SAM). Blood samples were taken shortly after a single dose of ampicillin/sulbactam (2 g/1 g) was administered to patients intravenously. PRF was obtained by centrifugation and three protocols were used: protocol A (1300 rpm, 8 min, RCF-max = 208 g), B (2300 rpm, 12 min, RCF-max = 652 g), and C (1500 rpm, 14 min, RCF-max = 276 g). The antibacterial activity of PRF was investigated against five oral species in vitro, based on agar diffusion methodology. RESULTS The study demonstrates that a single dose of SAM is sufficient to reach high concentrations in PRF in all protocols (150 µg/ml), which is comparable to the plasma SAM concentration. Antibacterial activity was inferred from the diameter of inhibition zones seen in agar diffusion tests using PRF discs. Protocol B resulted in the largest inhibition zones. One-way ANOVA revealed statistically improved results for protocol B for some bacteria. CONCLUSIONS The study provides valuable data on PRF antibiotic enrichment, notably SAM. A single dose of SAM is sufficient to reach clinically relevant concentrations in PRF. CLINICAL RELEVANCE These findings potentially extend the application of PRF, for example in patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw or in oral surgery (e.g., stick bone).

Growth Factors Released from Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin in the Presence of Calcium-Based Silicate Materials and Their Impact on the Viability and Migration of Stem Cells of Apical Papilla. Dent J (Basel) 2023; 11:220. [PMID: 37754340 PMCID: PMC10530054 DOI: 10.3390/dj11090220] [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: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) provides the scaffold and growth factors necessary for stem cells to proliferate and differentiate in successful regenerative endodontic procedures. This study investigates the release of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from A-PRF in cell culture media in the presence and absence of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or Biodentine. Additionally, this research assesses the viability and migration of stem cells of the apical papilla (SCAP) in previously conditioned media. A-PRF obtained from 14 participants were incubated for 7 days in cell culture media alone or via layering with MTA or Biodentine discs and the release of selected growth factors in the media was evaluated using ELISA. The viability of SCAP grown in conditioned media was measured using the CCK8 assay, while SCAP migration was assessed via a transwell assay by counting migrated cells. The release of TGF-β1, PDGF, and VEGF was significantly higher in media with A-PRF alone than in the presence of either calcium-based silicate material (p < 0.05), which showed no difference from the no-A-PRF control (p < 0.05). None of the tested growth factors released in the A-PRF-conditioned media correlated with clot weight. A-PRF-conditioned media, both with and without calcium-based silicate materials, did not impact SCAP viability and migration (p > 0.05). This study shows that SCAP behavior is not impacted by the decrease in growth factor released in the presence of calcium-based silicate materials and that their role in REPs warrants further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to compare the efficacy of intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid (HA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) for treating temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and summarize their mechanisms of action. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published until November 13, 2021, were identified using electronic and manual searches. Each study was evaluated for the risk of bias using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The studies found via searches were categorized by follow-up time (1, 3, or 6 months). Evidence quality was graded according to the GRADE system. RESULTS Twelve RCTs were included that involved 421 patients with TMD. The network meta-analysis showed that all treatment groups improved compared to the placebo groups in terms of pain and maximal mouth opening (MMO). For pain evaluated via the visual analog scale, PRF exhibited better analgesic effects than PRP or HA after 1 and 3 months. PRP appeared to be more effective than PRF was after 6 months but there were no statistically significant differences between the two. For MMO, the effect of PRP was superior to those of PRF and HA after 1 month. However, after 3 and 6 months, PRF provided more encouraging results in improving MMO. CONCLUSION PRP and PRF exhibited similar short-term efficacy in treating TMD, while PRF was more advantageous in terms of long-term efficacy. Therefore, PRF was recommended for treating TMD.

Abstract
Background The application of blood concentrates has gained popularity in dentistry in recent years. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been discussed frequently due to a high content of growth factors and the option of chair-side manufacturing in a simple centrifugation process. PRF is free from adjuvants and inexpensive to produce. The number of studies reporting beneficial effects of PRF in various clinical applications such as alveolar ridge preservation, sinus floor elevation, management and prevention of medical-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, third molar extractions, and guided bone regeneration in dentistry has increased recently. However, to date, neither clinical recommendations nor guidelines are available. The present narrative review aims to summarize the level of evidence on the clinical application of PRF within the field of oral surgery and implantology. Summary A literature search in Pubmed and Medline has identified 34 articles as a basis for this narrative review. The effectiveness of the clinical application of PRF has been analyzed for five indications within dentistry: medical-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, wisdom tooth extraction, guided bone regeneration, sinus floor elevation, and alveolar ridge preservation. The amount of data for third molar extractions, socket preservation, and guided bone regeneration is extensive. Less data were available for the use of PRF in combination with sinus floor elevations. There is a lack of studies with scientific evidence on PRF and medical-related osteonecrosis of the jaw; however, studies positively impact patient-related outcome measures. Most studies report on beneficial effects when PRF is additionally applied in intrabony defects. There is no evidence of the positive effects of PRF combined with bone graft materials during sinus floor elevation. However, some benefits are reported with PRF as a sole filling material. Key Messages Many recently published studies show the positive clinical impact of PRF. Yet, further research is needed to ensure the validity of the evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the barrier function during bacterial invasion and wound healing properties of 3 commonly used membranes including horizontal platelet-rich fibrin (H-PRF) against two commercially available resorbable collagen membranes. MATERIALS AND METHODS H-PRF membranes were prepared by collecting venous blood from 3 healthy volunteers using a 700 g for 8-min centrifugation protocol followed by compression into membranes. To evaluate their barrier function, 3 groups (H-PRF membrane, collagen membrane A (Bio-Gide, Geistlich), collagen membrane B (Megreen, Shanxi Ruisheng Biotechnology Co) were placed between an inner chamber and outer chamber and inoculated with S. aureus. At 2 h, 24 h, and 48 h post-inoculation, cultures from the inner and outer chambers were assessed for bacterial CFUs. Then, scanning electron microscope (SEM) was utilized to visualized the morphological destruction by bacteria of the inner and outer surfaces of the membranes. To assess the wound healing properties of each membrane, leachates from each group were applied to human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and a scratch assay was performed at 24 h and 48 h. RESULTS S. aureus showed a minimal bacterial attachment or invasion rate through either collagen membranes at 2 h post-inoculation, yet over time demonstrated rapid degradation, especially on the rougher surface. While PRF demonstrated higher number of CFUs after 2 h, no significant penetration/degradation of the H-PRF membranes was observed at 24 h and 48 h in the H-PRF group. Both collagen membranes demonstrated significant morphological changes 48 h post-bacterial innoculation, while minimal obvious morphological changes were observed in the H-PRF group. The wound healing assay also demonstrated significantly better wound closure rates in the H-PRF group. CONCLUSION H-PRF membranes exhibited better barrier function towards S. aureus over 2 days of innoculation and better wound healing ability when compared to two commercially available collagen membranes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study provides further evidence for the application of H-PRF membranes during guided bone regeneration by minimizing bacterial invasion. Furthermore, H-PRF membranes have significantly better ability to promote wound healing.

Abstract
Introduction In many oral procedures that involve the implants, hair implantations, "Platelet-Rich Fibrin Membrane (PRF)" is commonly applied. The advantages are many. In this study, the mechanical resistance of PRF under resistance pull on a longitudinal axis was assessed and compared. Material and Methods For the current in vitro study, 60 volunteers donated each 10 ml of their blood and hence a total volume of 600 ml of blood was procured that was analyzed for the current study. The total volume was grouped to three groups where they receive three resistance centrifugation forces of "F-200,600,800 m/s²." In each group, 20 samples were tested for each level of the G-resistance. Each group was further divided as two subgroups of different times of wait, where they were centrifuged at baseline time and after a stand of 30 minutes. On universal testing equipment, the PRF membranes were mechanically tensioned in order to determine each membrane's resistance force. These values were compared for any statistical variance using appropriate statistical tools keeping P < 0.05. Results Any applied force had no statistically significant effect on the centrifugation duration for membrane resistance. When the resistance was applied for the PRP samples immediately after they were procured, no significant variation was seen at all the grades of the centrifugation forces; consequently, the T30 group showed a statistically significant variance for the centrifugation forces applied (P = 0.04), with the highest value when the greatest force was applied. According to the results, the centrifugation waiting period could be determined based on the application requirement. Conclusion For immediate membrane usage, the centrifugation had no effect on resistance; however, after 30 minutes, a membrane with greater resistance was produced by applying more force.

Comparative Evaluation of the Effect of Two Platelet Concentrates (a-PRF and L-PRF) on the Cellular Activity of Pre-osteoblastic MG-63 Cell Line: An in vitro Study. JOURNAL OF DENTISTRY (SHIRAZ, IRAN) 2023; 24:235-244. [PMID: 37388198 PMCID: PMC10300147 DOI: 10.30476/dentjods.2022.93305.1709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2021] [Revised: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
Statement of the Problem Currently, the reconstruction of bone defects with new platelet concentrates is considered a significant challenge in periodontics. Purpose This study aimed to evaluate advanced- platelet rich fibrin (A-PRF) and leukocyte- and platelet rich fibrin's (L-PRF) effects on the proliferation and differentiation of MG-63 cells. Materials and Method In this in vitro study, blood samples of five healthy non-smoking volunteers were collected and immediately centrifuged according to the two protocols of Choukroun and Ghanaati, without adding any anticoagulants, to prepare L-PRF and A-PRF. After freezing the clots for one hour, they were crushed and centrifuged once more. After culturing MG-63 cells, the effects of 20%, 10%, 1%, and 0.5% concentrations of A-PRF and L-PRF extracts on cell proliferation and mineralization were evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and Alizarin Red staining, respectively. Results Generally, survival and proliferation in the L-PRF group at both time intervals were higher than the A-PRF group and increased with increasing the extract concentration. However, in the A-PRF group, there were no significant differences between the different concentrations, and only the number of cells increased over time. After three days, in the study on mineralization, nodule formation was observed only in the positive control group (osteogenic). In seven days, mineralized nodules were formed in all groups with different concentrations of A-PRF, but not in any of the L-PRF groups. Conclusion According to the results, L-PRF increased proliferation, and A-PRF exerted a positive effect on the differentiation of MG-63 cells.

Al-Badran A, Bierbaum S, Wolf-Brandstetter C. Does the Choice of Preparation Protocol for Platelet-Rich Fibrin Have Consequences for Healing and Alveolar Ridge Preservation After Tooth Extraction? A Meta-Analysis. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023; 81:602-621. [PMID: 36736375 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Revised: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Multiple preparation protocols for platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are in use today, and clinical results are often heterogeneous. This study analyzes the impact of the chosen PRF preparation protocol on 1) wound healing and 2) alveolar ridge preservation. METHODS For this systematic review and meta-analysis, eligible studies were identified in PubMed and Cochrane databases. Included were randomized controlled and controlled clinical trials with healthy patients treated with PRF after atraumatic tooth extraction compared to untreated socket(s), reporting at least one of the following outcome variables: pain, swelling, soft tissue healing, alveolar osteitis risk, horizontal and vertical bone loss, socket fill, and new bone formation. Main predictor variable was relative centrifugal force (RCF) comparing high RCF (high PRF), intermediate RCF (standard [S-PRF]), low RCF (advanced PRF), and various RCF settings (concentrated growth factor preparation [CGF]). The type of centrifugation tubes (silica-coated plastic and glass) was a secondary predictor. Weighted or standardized mean differences, risk ratio and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated. RESULTS Forty studies published between 2012 and 2022 were selected. The pooled effects of all outcomes were significant against untreated sockets. Within the subgroups high PRF or advanced PRF had the lowest efficacy for many outcome parameters. Pain reduction (in visual analog scale units) was highest for S-PRF (-1.18 [-1.48, -0.88], P < .00001) and CGF (-1.03 [-1.16, -0.90], P < .001). The risk ratio of alveolar osteitis (0.09 [0.01, 0.69], P < .02) and soft tissue healing (standardized mean difference = 2.55 [2.06, 3.03], P < .001) were best for CGF. No subgroup differences were found for bone-related outcomes. No meaningful analysis of the tube material effect was possible. CONCLUSION This study confirms that PRF is associated with reduced postoperative complications but indicates that preparation protocol influences clinical outcomes. S-PRF and CGF protocols appear to be superior for several outcome parameters.
