PLATELET CONCENTRATES IN CONSERVATIVE AND ENDODONTIC DENTISTRY

Platelet concentrates have emerged as a valuable biologic adjunct in conservative dentistry and endodontics due to their regenerative potential. They are autologous biomaterials rich in growth factors that enhance tissue healing and regeneration. In endodontics, platelet concentrates aid in pulp revascularization, apexification, and periapical healing. Their use improves angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and differentiation at the treatment site. In conservative dentistry, they support dentin-pulp complex repair and wound healing. Commonly used forms include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). These biomaterials offer a biocompatible and cost-effective approach to regenerative procedures. Their clinical application represents a significant advancement toward biologically driven dental care.
