Regeneración ósea mediante fibrina rica en plaquetas y leucocitos (L-PRF) posexodoncia. Revisión sistemática

Abstract

Platelet- and leukocyte-rich fibrin (L-PRF) is a second-generation autologous biomaterial made up of plasma, leukocytes, and platelets to support the regenerative process after tooth extraction. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effectiveness of post-exodontic bone regeneration using platelet- and leukocyte-rich fibrin (L-PRF). MATERIALS AND METHODS: An online search was carried out in PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, and gray literature in Google Scholar. Articles containing randomized controlled clinical trials where L-PRF was used for the post-exodontic bone regeneration process were selected. RESULTS: Twenty articles were included assessing the applicability of L-PRF in post-exodontic bone regeneration, either individually or in conjunction, where a faster bone regeneration and a lower resorption rate were obtained. CONCLUSIONS: L-PRF proved to be effective both when applied as a sole or combined resource. In both cases, it improves and speeds up post-exodontic bone regeneration and represents a significant contribution to dentistry.
