Concentrados plaquetarios para regeneración y tratamiento de tejidos duros y blandos

Abstract

This study was put forward as a result of the number and consequences of periodontal recessions, this review aims to compare the effects of different types of platelet concentrates used to treat hard and soft oral tissue defects. In order to do so, clinical trials were researched based on the usage of platelet concentrates, compared with conventional treatments were searched in PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Oral Health Group, and Lilacs. Within the main outcomes, there were not found remarkable differences in any of the following factors: probing depth, clinical attachment level, root coverage, coronal advance fl ap, keratinized gingival width. There was only signifi cant distinction on the studies that compared the usage of an access fl ap variable with and without platelet concentrates. To sum up, seems to be benefi cial the addition of platelet rich plasma (PRP), platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and leucocyte platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) to the treatment when dealing with periodontal and periimplant defects. Nevertheless, further investigations and studies are needed in order to be able to analyze in detail the behavior of these blood products.
