Article Synopsis
- Platelet concentrates (PCs) are biological agents that may enhance healing in soft and hard tissues and were specifically evaluated for their effectiveness in treating peri-implantitis (PI).
- A systematic review of five electronic databases and manual searches identified 12 articles, highlighting variability in study design, sample sizes, and techniques for preparing PCs.
- The findings suggest that platelet-rich fibrin can improve clinical outcomes for PI compared to conventional treatments, but further randomized controlled trials are needed to better understand PC efficacy in this context.
