Periodontitis is a chronic bacterial infection resulting in the destruction of the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone & supporting structures. Regeneration of the lost tissues has faced difficulties primarily due to the lack of support during the healing period. A surgical additive which can will help the healing process to a more predictable regenerative process is always on the wish list of any periodontist. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second generation platelet concentrate that has been considered to be an important, easy to obtain, predictable surgical additive for periodontal regeneration. This autologous scaffold provides the much needed bio-chemical mediators which has the potential for enhancing reconstruction of the periodontium.
