Article Synopsis
- Oral mucosal lesions are common and can cause significant pain, detrimentally affecting patients' quality of life; the study explores the effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in treating these lesions.
- A thorough literature review identified 12 relevant studies, showing that PRF can be used in different forms, like membranes and gels, and has led to better healing outcomes compared to traditional treatments.
- The results indicate that PRF is a promising and safe option for managing oral mucosal lesions, although further research is necessary to refine preparation methods and validate its efficacy over time.
Defects and dysfunctions of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc are responsible for the majority of TMJ diseases. Current treatments in this matter are usually short-term and only palliative, thus an alternative treatment that offers long-lasting repair is in great demand. In recent years great attempts have been made to prepare an ideal scaffold, which best resembles the native TMJ disc in characteristics such as mechanical, physical and biological properties.

Topical drug delivery using biological macromolecules, specifically hydrogels, is gaining interest due to the drawbacks of conventional treatments for oral mucosal lesions.
Scope: Biological hydrogels made from natural polymers and their derivatives, such as chitosan, hyaluronic acid, alginate, and gelatin, represent promising alternatives to conventional oral medication delivery methods.
