Abstract EN
Objectives.
Leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) membrane can be used in various regenerative treatments.
In the case of classical heterologous membrane exposure, microorganisms can be colonized on it and jeopardize the success of treatment.
The aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial, mechanical, and histologic characteristics of the L-PRF membrane before and after the addition of silver nanoparticles (SNP).
Materials and Method.
This study was performed on 10 volunteer men aged 25-35 years.
20 ml whole bloods were collected from each person and L-PRFs were made by routine and SNP modified method.
Mechanical, antibacterial, and histological properties were evaluated.
Results.
The antibacterial efficacy of L-PRF and nanosilver-modified L-PRF was presented as Klebsiella pneumonia had growth on the L-PRF membrane after 12 hours.
After 24 hours, Klebsiella pneumonia and Streptococcus viridans had growth on L-PRF and only Klebsiella pneumonia had growth on SNP-L-PRF.
The tensile strength and stiffness were significantly higher in the SNP-L-PRF.
Precipitation of the SNPs was patchy in the outer layers and quite homogeneous in the inner core.
Conclusion.
Modification of L-PRF with SNP improves the mechanical properties and antibacterial activity of the L-PRF.
It can play an important role in regenerative procedures.
