Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin is an effective membrane for lateral ridge augmentation: An in vivo study using a canine model with surgically created defects.

From the results of this in vivo study using surgically created defects, L-PRF plays an effective role as a barrier membrane for lateral ridge augmentation. L-PRF may be an excellent barrier membrane in place of other nonresorbable and resorbable membranes.
