Effect of Cigarette Smoking on Morphologic Characteristics of Two Different Platelet-Rich Fibrin Membranes: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study.

CONCLUSION: Scanning electron microscopic results show that long-term cigarette smoking does affect the thickness and arrangement of fiber architecture in both leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin and advanced platelet-rich fibrin membranes and also could have an impact on activation of platelets.
