Platelet concentrates should be quality-assured of purity and identity prior to clinical use. Unlike for the liquid form of platelet-rich plasma, platelet counts cannot be directly determined in solid fibrin clots and are instead calculated by subtracting the counts in other liquid or semi-clotted fractions from those in whole blood samples. Having long suspected the validity of this method, we...

Objectives: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have recently become commercially available and are marketed directly to consumers for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Anabolic effects from cytokines concentrated in Leukocyte-Poor configurations PRP (LP-PRP) hypothesized inhibit native catabolic environment cartilage degeneration process. Multiple Level I trials comparing LP- hyalur...

BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma is a fraction of plasma in which platelets are concentrated. It is reported to represent a source of multiple growth factors that promote tissue repair. In anticipation of the eventual testing of platelet-rich plasma in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient patients, we examined the effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma on human ACL cell function in vitr...

conclusions our study demonstrates positive results (preservation or regeneration of bone) using prp in treatment of bronj. although prp may enhance osseous regeneration, long-term follow-ups are required to confirm its benefits. background bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (bronj) is a well-known challenging entity warranting management. platelet-rich plasma (prp) plays an impor...

Background: With the increase in life expectancy, middle aged and elderly people comprise a substantial percentage of the population worldwide. Since aging often manifests itself in the human skin, skin rejuvenation methods have gained a lot of popularity. Current medical modalities such as botulinum toxininjection, fillers, and laser therapy can provide symptomatic relief of skin aging s...

Amaç: Rejeneratif endodontide son çalışmalar tedavinin farklı kök gelişim tipleri gösterdiğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Chen ve indeksinde rejeneratif endodontik tedavi sonrasında 5 tipi rapor edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı tedavide kullanılan trombositten zengin plazma (PRP) fibrin (PRF) iskelelerinin yanıt üzerine etkisini değerlendirmektir. Gereç Yöntemler: çalışmada görmüş 38 tane vaka retrospe...

BACKGROUND Cartilage tissue has limited regenerative capacity and the management of cartilage defects has always been a challenging issue. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been recently been used to improve healing of cartilage defects. In the present experiment, we aimed to investigate the effects of PRP on regeneration capacity as well as survival of the cartilage grafts in a rabbit model. M...
