Early Pulp Healing after Direct Pulp Capping with Concentrated Platelet-Rich Fibrin: A Preliminary Study.
BACKGROUND Direct pulp capping preserves pulp vitality after pulp exposure. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is widely used but relies mainly on host-mediated repair. Concentrated platelet-rich fibrin (C-PRF), an autologous plasma-derived biomaterial, may actively modulate the local healing microenvironment through sus...
