The platelet derived growth factors are now routinely utilized in oral surgery and the most frequent questions is: do these products are active both on hard and soft tissue healing ? Are these products constantly active ?

The effectiveness of the growth factors depends on several factors as: protocols, difference between individuals, type of biomaterials used, quality of vasculature, state of the patient health etc.

The use of PRF needs also to be applied specifically as it’s particular for each clinical indication.

This lecture will present how to use the PRF in different indications in oral surgery with the better results.
