Abstract
The article provides an overview of action mechanism, expediency and features of platelet-rich plasma application in dentistry. Cellular and molecular composition of platelet-rich plasma, its functions, mechanism and variability of action are discussed based on data from domestic and foreign literature. Platelet-rich autoplasma application in various branches of dentistry, detailed manipulation protocols and interpretation of the results obtained are described in the article. Protocols for platelet-rich plasma preparation as well as equipment and materials necessary for its preparation are described.
