Application of platelet rich-fibrin in immediate implantation for antirior dentition / 实用口腔医学杂志

There are different degrees of bone defect in immediate implantation for anterior dentition. During conventional guided bone regeneration, the wound was difficultly closed in operation,and there was more inflammatory response and infection risk. In this paper,a case of immediate implantation for anterior dentition combined with platelet rich-fibrin(PRF) was reported,the clinical effects of guiding bone regeneration and alleviating the inflammatory response.

Three-dimensional structure and cytokine distribution of platelet-rich fibrin

OBJECTIVES: Previous reports have revealed that several cytokines (including platelet-derived growth factor-BB, transforming growth factors-β1 and insulin-like growth factor-1) can enhance the rate of bone formation and synthesis of extracellular matrix in orthopaedics or periodontology. This study aimed to determine the concentration of cytokines within platelet-rich fibrin microstructures and investigate whether there are differences in the different portions of platelet-rich fibrin, which has implications for proper clinical use of platelet-rich fibrin gel. METHODS: Whole blood was obtained from six New Zealand rabbits (male, 7 to 39 weeks old, weight 2.7-4 kg); it was then centrifuged for preparation of platelet-rich fibrin gels and harvest of plasma. The resultant platelet-rich fibrin gels were used for cytokine determination, histological analyses and scanning electron microscopy. All plasmas obtained were subject to the same cytokine determination assays for the purpose of comparison. RESULTS: Cytokines platelet-derived growth factor-BB and transforming growth factor-β1 formed concentration gradients from high at the red blood cell end of the platelet-rich fibrin gel (p=1.88×10-5) to low at the plasma end (p=0.19). Insulin-like growth factor-1 concentrations were similar at the red blood cell and plasma ends. The porosities of the platelet-rich fibrin samples taken in sequence from the red blood cell end to the plasma end were 6.5% ± 4.9%, 24.8% ± 7.5%, 30.3% ± 8.5%, 41.4% ± 12.3%, and 40.3% ± 11.7%, respectively, showing a gradual decrease in the compactness of the platelet-rich fibrin network. CONCLUSION: Cytokine concentrations are positively associated with platelet-rich fibrin microstructure and portion in a rabbit model. As platelet-rich fibrin is the main entity currently used in regenerative medicine, assessing cytokine concentration and the most valuable portion of PRF gels is essential and recommended to all physicians.

The effects of different treatments of tooth extraction wound on alveolar bone healing / 实用口腔医学杂志

Bilateral mandibular first molars of 36 rabbits were extracted.The tooth extraction wounds were treated by:platelet-rich fibrin +acellular dermal matrix(group A),platelet-rich fibrin(group B),acellular dermal matrix (group C) and without treatment (group D,the control) (n =9) respectively.The measurments of alveolar bone height and width showed that there were no significant differences among groups at different times(P ＞ 0.05).Bone histomorphometry showed that at the 2th and 4th week,the best result was found in group A(P＜0.01).While,at the 8th week,the result of group A was still better than that of other 3 ones (P ＜ 0.01),but group B and C showed no significant difference(P ＞ 0.05).The combination of PRF and ADM shows the most significant effect.

Esthetic and Functional Rehabilitation through Early Placement of PRF Augmented Dental Implant in Maxillary Aesthetic Zone.

Implants placed shortly after tooth extraction have proven to be a predictable treatment modality. The number of surgical appointments and length of surgical phase are reduced, thereby preserving hard and soft tissue configuration. However, there are some limitations to early implant placement. These include a probable lack of soft tissue closure over the extraction site, difficulty in matching the diameter of the implant with that of the extraction socket, partially or totally missing bony housings, and possible accompanying periapical and/or periodontal infection.This clinical report presentsearly dental implant placement with PRF augmentation in maxillary esthetic zone.

Effect of platelet-rich fibrin on proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To study the effect of autogeneic platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro.Methods ADSCs were isolated from adipose tissue obtained from donors undergoing liposuction and were cultured,and underwent identification.ADSCs at passage 3 were divided into three groups:test groups were cultured with 1PRFM and 2PRFM,and control group was cultured without PRF membrane.Then the growth of the cells was observed by inverted microscope.MTT method was used to observe cell proliferation activity at days 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 after culture.Adipogenic differentiation of ADSCs was observed and quantified by oil red O staining at days 3,5,7,9,11 and 14.Results Cell proliferation and adipogenic differentiation would be increased with the PRFM,There were significant differences among three groups.Conclusions PRF could significantly promote proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of ADSCs.

The Effect of PRF and PRP for New Bone Formation of beta-TCP in Skull of White Rabbit

The bone regenerative effect of silk fibroin mixed with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the calvaria defect of rabbit

INTRODUCTION: This study evaluated the bone regenerative effect of silk fibroin mixed with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) of a bone defect in rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten New Zealand white rabbits were used for this study and bilateral round shaped defects were formed in the parietal bone (diameter: 8.0 mm). The silk fibroin mixed with PRF was grafted into the right parietal bone (experimental group). The left side (control group) was grafted only PRF. The animals were sacrificed at 4 weeks and 8 weeks. A micro-computerized tomography (microCT) of each specimen was taken. Subsequently, the specimens were decalcified and stained for histological analysis. RESULTS: The average value of plane film analysis was higher in the experimental group than in the control group at 4 weeks and 8weeks after surgery. However, the difference was not statistically significant.(P>0.05) The tissue mineral density (TMD) in the experimental group at 4 weeks after surgery was significantly higher than the control group.(P<0.05) CONCLUSION: Silk fibroin can be used as a scaffold of PRF for rabbit calvarial defect repair.
