The systematic review found that Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin Plus (A-PRF+) significantly enhances bone healing in oral surgery. When combined with biomaterials, A-PRF+ improves their integration and increases implant insertion torque, leading to better primary and secondary stability. This makes A-PRF+ a viable alternative for patients concerned about using human- and animal-derived biomaterials.
