After tooth loss, the alveolar bone (which supports the teeth) undergoes a natural process called bone remodeling, which can lead to significant decreases in bone height and thickness over time. Faced with the need to replace missing teeth, especially when it comes to dental implants, the lack of supporting tissues can compromise their correct positioning, leading to negative impacts on the success and longevity of the treatment. Therefore, over the years, several materials and procedures have been proposed to preserve and regenerate oral tissues. Leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) consists of a membrane obtained by centrifuging the patient's blood in a fixed-angle centrifuge, allowing cells to be available to stimulate tissue regeneration directly at the place of action. Several reports demonstrate high potential in stimulating the formation of new tissues using L-PRF. In recent years, new protocols have been proposed to increase cell concentration and improve the regenerative potential of these membranes, changing the speed and time of centrifugation and introducing horizontal centrifugation. However, there still needs to be concrete evidence of the superiority of the new protocols in relation to the original protocol. In this study, we evaluated the healing of defects created in rat calvaria using platelet aggregates obtained through different centrifugation protocols. Within the limits of this study, it can be concluded that platelet aggregates improve bone healing, and horizontal centrifugation promotes more satisfactory results compared to fixed-angle protocols.
