Replacement in the esthetic zone can be very unpredictable and difficult to manage in cases with extreme bone and soft tissue loss. In this case report (2.5-year follow-up), we demonstrate that the use of platelet-rich fibrin in combination with bovine bone can result in a stable, esthetic outcome.

Background: This series investigates the efficacy of regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) using various platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) formulations in treating apical periodontitis and necrotic pulp in immature permanent teeth.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different PRF formulations in RET.
Materials And Methods: Three cases involving patients aged 15-16 with immature teeth and necrotic pulp were treated with RET using PRF, injectable PRF, and advanced PRF.

Apexification is a crucial procedure for achieving apical healing in non-vital teeth with open apices. Traditionally, calcium hydroxide has been used for this purpose, but it has significant drawbacks, including prolonged treatment duration, increased risk of root fracture, and the potential for porous barrier formation. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has emerged as a superior alternative due to its biocompatibility, faster setting time, and better sealing properties.

: This study aimed to evaluate the role of A-PRF (advanced platelet-rich fibrin) in the enhancement of wound healing and protecting the periodontal health of mandibular second molars after the extraction of mandibular third molars. Additionally, the study assessed the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of mandibular second molars as markers of inflammation. : Twenty-five systemically healthy adult patients with bilateral removal of impacted mandibular third molars were included.

The objective of this study was to compare single-needle arthrocentesis with the conventional two-needle arthrocentesis, as well as the additional intracapsular injection of hyaluronic acid or platelet-rich fibrin. A total of 96 patients with established osteoarthritis (OA) ( = 48) or with internal de-arrangement (DD) ( = 48) were assigned single-needle arthrocentesis with distension of the joint or conventional two-needle arthrocentesis with or without intracapsular injection of the medication (hyaluronic acid (HA) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP)) performed every month over a period of 6 months. The maximum mouth opening and pain, as measured by the visual analog scale (VAS), were compared.
