Abstract: This experimental study aimed to evaluate the effects of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) on mucosal healing and the release of growth factors in rats. 40 rats were used; i-PRF was administered in the right buccal area while saline was injected in the left. Cytokeratin, FGF, PDGF, TGF, and VEGF expressions were determined with immunohistochemistry. Gene expressions of EGF, TGF-beta, and VEGF were analysed. Epithelialization started on the 3rd day, and connective tissue maturation was more prominent in the i-PRF-applied group. Also, the releases of VEGF, EGF, TGF-beta, PDGF, and FGF were higher in the i-PRF group during the 14 days. Gene expression analysis showed that changes in TGF-beta at 14 days after i-PRF injection and VEGF after 21 days were statistically significant. The results of this study suggested that autologous i-PRF application enhanced the healing of oral mucosal wounds by increasing the release of growth factors for 21 days.
