    TLDR PRF is promising for dental and aesthetic uses but needs more research.
    Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is increasingly used in maxillofacial surgery and aesthetic medicine because it is autologous, cost-effective, and easy to obtain. A systematic review of current literature shows potential applications in various aesthetic and dental procedures. However, many studies have limitations such as small patient groups, short follow-up periods, or flawed designs. More rigorous research is needed to fully understand PRF's effects and benefits.
