Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The preparation methods of platelet gel are various, but there is no uniform standard.
OBJECTIVE: To conclude the methods of platelet gel preparation and to explore the relevant parameters.
METHODS: The first author searched the PubMed and Wanfang databases for relevant articles published from 1990 to 2011 using the keywords of “platelet gel, classification, parameters” in English and Chinese, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There are two main parameters to classify the different preparation methods, which are the yield and composition of gel and the fibrin network of gel. According to the two main parameters, the preparation methods of platelet gel can be classified into four categories, namely, pure platelet-rich plasma, leukocyte- and platelet-rich plasma, pure platelet-rich fibrin, and leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin. According to the preparation process, the preparation methods of PRP gel also can be divided into manual protocol and automatic protocol. There are inadequacies in all the preparation methods.
