Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a second-generation platelet concentrate, has shown to be superior to PRP. It was first developed in France. PRF allows one to obtain fibrin membranes enriched with platelets and GF after starting from an anticoagulant-free blood harvest. Recently, studies have demonstrated that the PRF membrane has a very significant slow sustained release of many key GF for at least 1 week and up to 28 days, which means that PRF could release GF with its own biological scaffold for wound healing process. The aim of this case report is to describe two cases of radicular cysts in the maxillary anterior region that were individually managed, depending on the underlying etiology, by using an interdisciplinary approach including nonsurgical restorative and endodontic therapy followed by surgical eneucleation of the cyst followed by apicocectomy and placement of PRF.
