ClinConnect Summary

A non surgical, non invasive method of increasing gingival thickness has been reported using injectable platelet rich fibrin (i-PRF) alone and with microneedling (MN) in individuals with thin periodontal phenotype .

I-PRF is prepared as per low speed centrifugation concept that can provide a significant advantage for the regeneration process as it is rich in platelets, leukocytes, growth factors (As iprf is rich in WBC'c enabling slow and sustained release of growth factors as it clots and forms a gel approximately after 10-15 min and preserve its contents in the tissue for sustained relea...
