Abstract

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has the potential to regenerate tissues and decrease pain through the effects of bioactive molecules and growth factors present in alpha granules. Several PRP preparation systems are available with varying end products, doses of growth factors, and bioactive molecules. This article presents the biology of PRP, the preparation of PRP, and the effects PRP-related growth factors have on tissue healing and repair. Based on available evidence-based literature, the success of PRP therapy depends on the method of preparation and composition of PRP, the patient's medical condition, anatomic location of the injection, and the type of tissue injected.
