Application of Platelet-Rich Fibrin in Soft Tissue Management of Oral Implantation
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) possesses the functions of regulating the local microenvironment, promoting soft tissue repair and maintaining tissue stability by virtue of its three-dimensional fibrin network structure and the sustained release of active ingredients, laying a favorable application foundation in the soft tissue management of oral implantation. This article reviews the structural characteristics and biological properties of PRF, as well as its applications in wound closure of implant sites, soft tissue augmentation and keratinized gingiva reconstruction.
