Employment of platelet rich fibrine and leukocytes (l-prf) in post extraction: a literature review

Fibrin Rich in Platelets and Leukocytes (L-PRF), is an autologous biomaterial, a second-generation blood product consisting of leukocytes, platelets and a dense three-dimensional network of fibrins that are simple and without biochemical manipulation of blood tissue used for healing. This study aims to describe the use of platelet and leukocyte-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in post-extraction alveoli through a literature review. The use of platelet and leukocyte-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in alveoli after a tooth extraction is well described and documented in the widely consulted literature, especially with regard to reduced bone absorption, infection, pain, local splicing and wound healing. healing time and bone remodeling are a great option to be used mainly after dental extraction when rehabilitation with implant placement is intended. L-PRF presents itself as an autogenous biomaterial with great versatility, low cost, easy acquisition and wide use in the most diverse areas of dentistry. Its disadvantages are relatively small compared to its major advantages.
