Description: A-PRF is a biologically active scaffold that fits into the proven principles of the physiology of the wound-healing process. Its action lies in the controlled and prolonged release of fundamental factors like the PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor), TGF-β (transforming growth factor beta), and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) which collectively enhance cellular migration, angiogenic events, and extracellular matrix remodeling factors of repair in the recovery of the tissues.
