Knowledge attitude and awareness of platelet rich fibrin among dental students in chennai

Author: ABHISHEK NARAM, MEBIN GEORGE MATHEW, DEEPAK S
Abstract: The growth factors present in platelets are important to guide the regenerating cells to the area of healing. Platelet-rich-fibrin (PRF) is one such material that holds on to these growth factors enmeshed in the fibrin network resulting in their sustained release over a period of time that can accelerate the wound healing process. With this knowledge, research has been carried out for a past few years for the clinical application of PRF. Various platelet concentrates have been studied including the platelet-rich-plasma (PRP). However, the short duration of cytokine release and its poor mechanical properties have resulted in the search of a new material with adequate properties for clinical application and ease of preparation. PRF has found a place in the regenerative field owing to its advantages over PRP. This was a cross-sectional study conducted among dental students undergoing training in saveetha dental college and hospitals. Data were collected by means of a selfadministered questionnaire consisting of 10 closed ended questions. The survey was prepared in the form of google forms .100 people have responded to the survey. From the results 88% of the respondents were aware of the various regenerative procedures. 74% of the respondents were aware of the platelet rich fibrin. The majority of the participants (54%) said PRF is an autograft and 35% said it is an allograft. 62% of the participants were not aware that PRF can be used in regenerative procedures. 88% of the respondents showed interest to attend a course on PRF. It is concluded from the results that students have limited knowledge regarding platelet rich fibrin. This shows the need for educational intervention to enhance the knowledge through interactive learning aids, seminars, workshops, and including the medical and dental significance of PRF as a part of the curriculum.
