Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a biological product obtained from autologous blood that contains growth factors, promoting the healing and regeneration of human tissues. Several oral diseases require surgical intervention, producing residual wounds that undergo a healing process, accompanied by pain, swelling, superinfections, and bone remodeling. This protocol study aims to evaluate the safety of PRP use for the following dental procedures: post-extraction socket healing, periodontal tissue regeneration, maxillary sinus floor elevation, tooth transplantation, and intentional tooth replantation.

Subcutaneous adipose tissue is a considerable cell source in clinical practice and can be collected relatively easily and safely under local anesthesia. Moreover, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a plasma component containing many platelets purified by centrifuging the collected blood, also promotes wound healing.
