*Platelet-Rich Fibrin
By coincidence!I was running out of time to choose a topic to research for knowledge transfer, and did not have a specific clinical scenario to form a PICO question on. I was researching various methods for periodontal therapy and came across platelet-rich fibrin.
*How I Came Upon This Topic
PICO Question:
Does platelet-rich fibrin, when used as an adjunct to open flap debridement, increase the rate of bone regeneration and clinical attachment levels in patients with three wall infra-bony defects compared to open flap debridement
alone?
Databases:• EBSCOhost• Google Scholar
Key Phrases:• “platelet-rich fibrin AND perio* AND healing”• “platelet-rich fibrin AND perio*”• “platelet-rich fibrin AND dental hygiene therapy”• “platelet rich fibrin”• “platelet-rich fibrin periodontal therapy”• “platelet rich fibrin periodontal therapy AND scaling AND root
planning”
*Research Method
*Can anyone tell me what the goal for
periodontal treatment is?
To improve and maintain the periodontium into a state of
comfortable function!1
• “A simple and inexpensive procedure”2
• A sample of the patients’ blood is drawn at the time of the surgical procedure, and is placed in a centrifuge.2
• Once centrifuged, the platelet-rich fibrin clot forms between the plasma and red blood cell layers respectively.2
• This clot is quickly pulled out of the sample and is further compressed, which makes the clot elastic-like.2
*What is PRF?
*Here’s a video to show you the process of
prepping PRF.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjhR90E707A
• The clot is then placed into a three-wall infra-bony defect after completing open-flap debridement on the patient2
• “Contains concentrated leukocytes, platelets, and growth factors that are trapped within a fibrin matrix”.2

• Results are collected nine months after the surgical procedure.1,3
• Clinically proven that probe depths, clinical attachment level, sulcus bleeding index, periodontal attachment level, and plaque indexes were significantly reduced in systemically healthy people that received platelet-rich fibrin along with open flap debridement.1,3
*Does PRF Work?
• Clinical attachment levels were gained in systemically healthy people that received platelet-rich fibrin therapy in adjunct with open flap debridement.1,3
• Infra-bony defects, when filled with PRF after receiving open flap debridement, where approximately 46.92% filled with new bone.1,3
• Infra-bony defects that received open flap debridement alone only filled approximately 28.66%.1,3
*Does PRF Work?
*SUCCESS!

• Studies have shown that using platelet-rich fibrin as an adjunct to open flap debridement provides:
• clinically significant regenerative healing in infra-bony defects1,2,3
• gained clinical attachment levels1,2,3
*Conclusion
* This is NOT to say that open flap debridement itself does not work; however, platelet-rich fibrin does
increase the rate of healing.
• No, I cannot answer my question because more thorough research is needed, as platelet-rich fibrin is becoming a new concept to periodontal therapy.1,2,3

Any Questions??
