Clinical use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) have incresead in dental procedures and represents a promising alternative in the regeneration of soft and hard tissues, whether associated with biomaterials or alone. PRF presentation forms in membrane, plug or sticky bone are discussed. Versatility, biological security of autologous material, simplicity, cost-effectiveness and maleability are attractive factors to the multivariate use of PRF in-office. However, more randomized clinical trials protocol standardization are required to obtain reproducible results. The choice of most indicated therapeutic modality of PRF applied to alveolar ridge preservation should be made based on evidence to ensure a good clinical results in-office and patient satisfaction.
