Abstract

Preparing various types of platelet concentrates using blood centrifugation have been introduced for acceleration of tissue regeneration. Concentrated growth factor (CGF), the second generation of platelet concentrates, contains many kinds of growth factors as well as fibrin. CGF has higher adhesive strength and tensile strength, and higher viscosity than other platelet preparations. It promotes wound healing and accelerates osteogenesis. This article focused on the preparation and clinical application of CGF, and 4 cases were reported.
