Abstract:

Statement   of   the Problem:   In   the world   of   synthetic products, the evolution of a natural healing agent that is obtained from the shelf is a ray of hope for all researchers. Platelet Rich Fibrin is the activated form of plasmatic molecule called fibrinogen which plays a determining role in platelet aggregation during hemostasis.  It works as a protective wall along vascular breaches. Various studies have proved that it is vigorously used in bone grafts, Endo Perio lesions, gingival recession, necrotic Pulp and open apex.  The purpose of this study is to review and discuss the role of platelet rich fibrin in regenerative pulpotomy. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation:  A 14-year-old boy with acute pain in 37 visited Endodontic department. On    radiographic    analysis, radiolucency    was    seen approaching pulp horn and the tooth had open apex. Coronal pulp was removed and pulpotomy was performed with the help of Platelet Rich Fibrin MTA and GIC. His 10 ml blood was withdrawn and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min. Three layers were formed after centrifugation, 2nd layer was separated and right after cleaning the tooth PRF was infused in coronal pulp. Later tooth was restored with MTA and GIC. Patient was followed up after 1,7,21 days. There were no signs of pain after 7 days.

 

Conclusion & Significance:  After 6 months tooth was completely   developed into a healthy form.  Platelet Rich Fibrin   has a tendency of slow polymerization, forms 3D network forming a matrix aiding in cytokine retention for extended periods, forms a membrane that possess elasticity and flexibility.  These properties make it superior than other healing materials and can be used in several ways as endodontic wound healing aid.
