Leukocyte- and Platelet-rich Fibrin in Oral Regenerative Procedures

Platelet concentrates have taken up residence in regenerative practice, and Marc Quirynen and Nelson R. Pinto offer here an orderly reading of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin. The route begins in biology — tissue regeneration, blood centrifugation protocols, the characteristics and mode of action of the membranes — and ends in the clinic: periodontal regeneration, intrabony defects, bone regeneration, coating of the implant to favour osseointegration, ridge preservation and the treatment of chronic wounds. Each indication is broken down into steps and supported by videos accessible through augmented reality. Reading in English for anyone wishing to use L-PRF with the backing of the evidence.
