Platelet-rich plasma and bone graft materials: a review and a standardized research protocol

Implant Dent. 2004 Dec;13(4):301-9. doi: 10.1097/01.id.0000148555.91063.06.

Abstract

Since the introduction of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), several authors (clinicians and researchers) have investigated its efficacy using different bone grafting materials. There have been various research protocols and different types of clinical cases. This position paper suggests a standardized research protocol for the use of, and evaluation of PRP and bone grafts.
