MAYOL, Magdalena et al. Leucocyte and Platelet Rich Fibrin in the treatment of intra-bony defects. Narrative Review. Rev. Clin. Periodoncia Implantol. Rehabil. Oral [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.1, pp.54-57. ISSN 0719-0107.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0719-01072018000100054.

Periodontal surgical techniques have emerged over time with the aim of achieving periodontal regeneration and improving its predictability. Leukocyte and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) has been proposed as an alternative, for not requiring anticoagulants in its preparation and for performing sustained release of growth factors for at least 7 days. The aim of this narrative review is to describe the available evidence on the use of L-PRF in periodontal intra-bony defects. An electronic and hand search was conducted in MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases. Of 494 papers retrieved, 12 were selected for this review. The results suggest that even if L-PRF shows benefits when used in regenerative periodontal treatment of intra-bony defects, clinical trials with standardized methodological design are necessary to compare L-PRF with biomaterials usually used in these defects.
