Autologous platelet concentrates represent promising innovative tools in the field of regenerative medicine and have been extensively used in oral surgery. Unlike platelet rich plasma (PRP) that is a gel or a suspension, Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) is a solid 3D fibrin membrane generated chair-side from whole blood containing no anti-coagulant. The membrane has a dense three dimensional fibrin matrix with enriched platelets and abundant growth factors. L-PRF is a popular adjunct in surgeries because of its superior handling characteristics as well as its suturability to the wound bed. The goal of the study is to demonstrate generation as well as provide detailed characterization of relevant properties of L-PRF that underlie its clinical success.

Faculty Of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Istanbul University, Süleymaniye, Prof. Dr. Cavit Orhan Tütengil Sk. No:4, Fatih/İstanbul, 34116, Turkey.

Objective: To compare the effects of titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF) and leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) on osteoblasts.

Methods: Venous blood samples were collected from ten volunteer patients to obtain T-PRF and L-PRF. The T-PRF group was labelled as Group T, the L-PRF group as Group L, and the control group, which includes only osteoblasts, was Group K.

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the accumulation of biofilm. Antimicrobials have been used as adjuncts to non-surgical periodontal therapy. However, systemic antibiotics often require large dosages to achieve suitable concentrations at the disease site.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic refractory wounds are difficult to heal, and this study explores the potential of exosomes derived from platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to improve healing, particularly through their effect on macrophages.
  • The study involved extracting exosomes from two types of PRP (pure and leukocyte-rich) and assessing their interaction with macrophages, using various scientific techniques to measure cell viability, apoptosis, and polarization.
  • Findings revealed that exosomes from leukocyte-rich PRP (L-PRP) can hinder macrophage viability and induce their apoptosis, while exosomes from pure PRP (P-PRP) encourage a healing-promoting M2 polarization in these immune cells.

Background: The burgeoning interest in implant and regenerative dental care has led to a notable upsurge in the utilization of regenerative modalities. The intent of the present investigation was to evaluate the osteogenic ability of two different concentrated platelet groups at various concentrations in the human osteosarcoma MG-63 cell line.

Materials And Methods: Blood samples from 21 volunteers with chronic periodontitis were collected which were then centrifuged in accordance with the protocols of Choukroun .
