Synopsis

The book is a very easy to read overview of the platelet concentrates, and their application in dentistry. It takes the readers through the fundamentals of platelet biology, reasons behind the existence of various approaches to platelet preparations, and how PRP, PRF, and newer platelet-based materials are applicable in the daily dental practice. There are straightforward descriptions of growth factors, fibrin networks, second-generation platelet concentrates, and even sophisticated ones such as albumin-enhanced PRF. Other areas of responsibility that are brought out in the book are the predictable healing and regeneration of tissues that depends on these biomaterials. Also, it gives an overview of the recent studies done on the efficiency of platelet concentrates in periodontal therapy, implant dentistry, oral surgery, and other processes in this regard. This book, which is based on the platelet-derived biomaterials that are applied in natural healing and regenerative dentistry, is practicable, reliable, and highly informative to dental learners, clinicians, and researchers.
