Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Purpose of Review: The use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a second-generation platelet concentrate, has gained popularity in the field of oral regenerative surgery. This review presents data from published clinical trials on outcomes from PRF application in regeneration of infrabony defects, implant site development, and mucogingival surgery. Recent Findings: When PRF is used for regeneration of infrabony defects, minor improvements are noted in the clinical parameters that in the majority of the cases does not reach the level of statistical significance. The use of PRF appears to limit the dimensional changes of the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction when compared with sockets that are allowed to heal with no grafting. When combined with coronally advanced flaps (CAF) for root coverage, PRF shows a slight advantage over CAF alone. Summary: Despite the adequate volume of publications in the field, the limitations of the existing studies highlight the need for high level of evidence to support the significant benefit of PRF in hard and soft tissue within the scope of periodontal and peri-implant surgery.
