Advantages of PRF over PRP
| 1. | The procedure is easy and less time-consuming |
| 2. | The procedure is painless as no need to inject the sample |
| 3. | Lack of biochemical modification as no anticoagulants are needed |
| 4. | The method preparation and application is simple and is cost- effective process |
| 5. | Long‑term effect––growth factors are released slowly over a period of 7 or more days |
| 6. | Able to support cytokines enmeshment and cellular migration |
| 7. | Increased incorporation of the circulating cytokines in the fibrin meshes (intrinsic cytokines) |
| 8. | It supports and accelerates the healing process due to slow polymerization |
| 9. | Helps in hemostasis |
| 10. | Three‑dimensional structure gives elasticity and flexibility to PRF membrane |
