Platelet Power: Revitalizing Endodontics With Scaffolds.

ABSTRACT

This article provides an overview of a biologically based method for restoring damaged tooth structures and pulp tissues known as regenerative endodontics. It explores the concept of regenerative endodontics, its tissue engineering approach, and its application in maintaining vitality. The article discusses the significance of the factors affecting growth, scaffolds, and stem cells being the three tissue engineering components involved in the regeneration of pulp tissues. It also delves into the classification of scaffolds and the role of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as biological scaffolds. The methodology section details the search process for relevant studies, and the review section presents research findings associated with PRF and its application in regeneration and repair of tissue. The article concludes by highlighting the potential of advanced PRF and injectable PRF in regenerative endodontics, with a focus on their impact on tissue regeneration and healing.
