Platelet rich plasma (PRP) has been a breakthrough in the stimulation and acceleration of tissue healing. It represents a relatively new
approach in regenerative procedures and is a developing area in pediatric dentistry. It is an autologous source of growth factors obtained by
sequestrating and concentrating platelets by gradient density centrifugation. This novel and potentially promising technique enhances body’s
natural wound healing mechanism. This article goes on to describe preparation and clinical benefits of PRP in pediatric dentistry.
