Platelet-Rich Fibrin as a Bone Graft Material in Oral and Maxillofacial Bone Regeneration: Classification and Summary for Better Application

<div>(a) Histological view of newly formed bone at the third month. (b) Cartilage tissue gradually replaced with new bone trabecules in connective tissue at the sixth month. (c) New bone could not be distinguished from the host bone at the ninth month in graft groups. (d) Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) particles surrounded by compact fibrous capsules at the third month. (e) Newly formed bone was seen between the connective tissue and the host bone at the sixth month. (f) New bone formation is still continuing at the ninth month in PRF groups. S, sinus cavity; SE, sinus epithelium; LP, lamina propria; P, periosteum; PR, PRF remnants; HB, host bone; NB, new bone; MG, mucous glands; ED, edema.</div>
