Platelet rich fibrin: A new covering material for oral mucosal defects.
In the current oral and maxillofacial surgery practice, the use of PRF membrane is limited to bony lesions and gingival defects. We have used it for reconstruction of benign hyperkeratotic lesion of oral mucosa in a healthy adult male and have found good healing clinically. It is suggested that the use of PRF membrane could be tried for various other superficial oral mucosal lesions.
