Comparison of the effect of tranexamic acid at various concentrations on the degradation time of platelet-rich fibrin

This study aimed to compare platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membranes obtained using a conventional method and those obtained using the tranexamic acid-mixed method at various concentrations in terms of appearance, weight, and degradation period. In this in vitro study, 20 PRF membranes were divided into four groups, including a conventional group manipulated using the conventional method. The remaining groups were prepared using tranexamic acid at concentrations of 50, 150, and 200  mg. The PRF membranes were evaluated for gross weight, degradation period, and daily remaining weight for 28 days.
