In vitro comparison of the effects of titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin and leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin on osteoblast behavior and their gen expression

In this study, we investigated the effects of T-PRF and L-PRF on osteoblast proliferation over a 72-hour period. Both groups improved osteoblast proliferation, however T-PRF group showed a consistent increase in osteoblast proliferation up to 72 h, in contrast to the L-PRF group. No differences in gene expression were found. However, osteoblastic marker genes can be significantly expressed over longer time periods. Therefore, long-term studies are needed.
