Abstract:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) concentrates have been widely used in the past decade as a complement to tissue regeneration procedures. The authors who have clinically used PRP refer no risk of infection, disease transmission, or undesirable effects. Nevertheless, there have been reports on the over-expression of growth factors (GFs) and their receptors related to tumour and dysplastic tissues. This has led to evaluation of the possible coincidences between carcinogenesis and the mitogenic pathways employed by GFs. The present study provides a review of the literature on the possible effects of the therapeutic uses of GFs (including PRP) in relation to carcinogenesis, their influence upon tissues with epithelial dysplasia or oral carcinoma, and their relation to tumour growth and infiltration.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Structure and Function of Platelets
Platelets are continually replenished, circulating in the bloodstream for 9-12 days before being removed by phagocytes, primarily in the spleen. A microliter of circulating blood contains between 150,000 and 450,000...
