Yamini V

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is referred to as a second-generation platelet concentrate, which has been shown to have several advantages over traditionally prepared Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). PRF is a platelet concentrate which has been widely used to accelerate soft-tissue and hard-tissue healing. This article describes the various properties, mechanism of action and its use in pediatric dentistry in various treatment modalities.
