Abstract
Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) is a fully autologous biomaterial made from venous blood drawn from the patient. Due to its regenerative potency, antibacterial capacity, and analgesic activity, L-PRF can be used during surgical procedures as a sole biomaterial or as a bioactive additive along with other natural and synthetic biomaterials. There is sufficient scientific evidence available for applying L-PRF for various indications. The preparation protocol of L-PRF is simple, inexpensive and not time-consuming, making it possible to implement it in the daily practice. The type of centrifuge and blood collection tubes used, the settings of the centrifuge (rotation time and force) as well as the time between the different steps in the protocol have an influence on the biological and mechanical properties of L-PRF.
