Earlier, it was believed that successful regeneration cannot be achieved once tooth has become infected. However, recent studies suggest that regenerative endodontics may in fact be possible in teeth with pulpal necrosis and periapical pathology. The primary goal in regenerative procedure is to eliminate clinical symptoms and resolve apical periodontitis. The blood clot acts as a scaffold, and the growth factors inside recruit stem cells, most likely from periapical papilla. But unfortunately, the erythrocytes in the clot of the blood column undergo necrosis, affecting its properties so the blood column is augmented by the use of different types of scaffolds. Platelet-rich fibrin is classified into four types (Standard PRF, Injectable PRF, Advanced PRF and Concentrated Growth Factor CGF) according to speed and time of centrifuge with the overall aim to increase the number of platelets and leucocytes
