Purpose: The purpose of this study is to check up the possible usage of a new approach when treating oroantral communication (OAC) which includes the usage of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Methods and materials: 6 patients (4 women and 2 men) participated in this study with oroantral communications after the extractions of maxillary molars. The OAC was closed surgically using PRF membranes. The c...

The filling of tissue for facial rejuvenation can be challenging. The aim is to restore harmonious volumetric facial ratios by regaining the contours of cheekbones, drooping jaw lines and nasolobial folds. Adipocyte grafts can return the skin to a state of brightness and to a volume that deteriorates gradually during ageing. To ensure that a tissue graft remains stable, it must be integrated in...

Recently, by employing intra-vital confocal microscopy, we demonstrated that platelets expose phosphatidylserine (PS) and fibrin accumulate only in the center of the thrombus but not in its periphery. To address the question how exposure of platelet anionic phospholipids is regulated within the thrombus, an in-vitro experiment using diluted platelet-rich plasma was employed, in which the fibrin...

Although horizontal tears of the meniscus have historically been treated with partial meniscectomy due to poor vascularity within the tear, evidence suggests that repair of horizontal meniscal tears may be advantageous to partial meniscectomy. Furthermore, the addition of platelet-rich plasma has shown promise in improving meniscal healing. We present our technique of platelet-rich fibrin clot-...

BACKGROUND Multirooted teeth offer unique and challenging problems due to the furcation area, creates situations in which routine periodontal procedures are somewhat limited and special procedures are generally required. CASE DETAIL The present case was showing the management of grade II furcation defect by platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and β-Tricalcium phosphate with coronally advanced flap. ...

Secondary alveolar bone grafting is a method that enables an excellent oral rehabilitation of the patients having cleft palate. Many types of bone grafts have been used for reconstruction of the cleft, including autogenous bone and bone substitutes. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been shown to be effective in grafting the defect. The aim of this presentation is to report the closure of an alveo...
