GONZALEZ LAGUNAS, J.. Platelet -rich plasma. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2006, vol.28, n.2, pp.89-99. ISSN 2173-9161.
Platelet-rich plasma is a by-product of centrifuged whole blood that contains high levels of thrombocytes. In the last decade, scientific and media interest has been generated by this product that apparently has the capacity of inducing and promoting tissue healing and regeneration. The premise of its use is that the large number of platelets in PRP release significant amounts of growth factors. In this paper, a critical review of the medical literature regarding PRP and bone healing will be presented. Also, the suggested clinical applications of the product will be addressed.
