Aim: To assess the effect of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (APRF) and concentrated growth factor (CGF) on tissues around implants in the maxillary anterior region.
Settings And Design: This was a prospective clinical study.
Materials And Methods: Thirty subjects were divided into three groups with 10 dental implants in each group, i.e., Group 1: Control group, Group 2: Endosseous implant placement with APRF, and Group 3: Endosseous implant placement with CGF. The subjects were assessed at baseline (at the time of prosthesis placement), 2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months, and 1 year for modified sulcular bleeding index, periimplant probing depth, mucosal suppuration, bleeding on probing, crestal bone level as well as implant stability.
Statistical Analysis Used: Oneway Analysis of variance and Post hoc Bonferroni were the statistical tests used.
Results: The difference in implant stability at 2 months was significantly (P < 0.05) more among the control and CGF groups compared to APRF group. However; the crestal bone levels, periimplant probing depth, modified sulcular bleeding index, mucosal suppuration, and bleeding on probing were statistically non-significant (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: CGF and APRF accelerated osseointegration. Furthermore, they had a positive effect on stabilization values. However, CGF showed better results and with further clinical trials may show a positive effect on implant healing period.

Objectives: The current literature about the effect of advanced platelet rich fibrin(A-PRF) with vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique in treating gingival recession is scarce. Therefore, the aim of the current randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of A-PRF with VISTA technique in the treatment of Cairo class 1 gingival recession (RT1).
Methods: Twenty-four patients who met the eligibility criteria were randomly allocated into two groups.

Introduction And Importance: Diabetic foot ulcers, especially when complicated by cellulitis, pose a significant challenge in diabetes management, often leading to amputation. This case report highlights the successful treatment of a diabetic foot ulcer in an amputation candidate using a combination of negative pressure wound therapy and platelet-rich plasma injection, potentially reducing the risk of amputation in high-risk patients.
Case Presentation: A 62-year-old male with poorly controlled diabetes presented with a chronic diabetic foot ulcer and cellulitis.

Background: Chronic nonhealing neuropathic foot ulcers affect approximately 15% to 30% of patients with diabetes mellitus and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although current strategies to address these chronic wounds include a multifactorial approach, clinical outcomes remain poor and warrant improvement. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), derived from autologous or allogeneic blood, is an emerging regenerative product that aims to serve as an adjuvant to standard diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) treatment.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the impact of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on pain, swelling, trismus, soft tissue healing and bone regeneration following mandibular third molar extraction.
Material And Methods: A systematic review was conducted from a period of January 2014 to June 2024 using PRISMA guidelines. The search strategy included databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, using key terms related to "PRF", "PRP", oral surgery, and third molars.
