Abstract

The aim of this article is to review the outcomes of platelet preparations in dentistry. A structured electronic search discovered 348 articles, which described the use of autologous platelet concentrates with a relevance to clinical dentistry. Among these articles, 220 articles investigated platelet rich plasma, 99 investigated platelet rich fibrin, 22 investigated plasma rich in growth factors and 7 investigated the use of concentrated growth factors. Several studies reported beneficial treament outcomes in terms of enhanced bone and soft tissue regeneration.

Keywords: Platelet concentrates; Platelet rich plasma; Platelet rich fibrin; Concentrated growth factors; Growth factors; Dentistry; Plasma rich in growth factors

Core tip: Autologous platelet concentrates (platelet-rich plasma, platelet rich fibrin, plasma rich in growth factors, concentrated growth factor), are blood derivatives, prepared from patient's own blood, reach in platelets, growth factors and cytokines, which can be used to promote guided tissue regeneration in dentistry and oral surgery.
