Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an autologous biomaterial extensively used in regenerative dentistry because of its sustained release of growth factors. Among its various forms, standard PRF (S-PRF) and advanced PRF (A-PRF) differ in their centrifugation protocols, which may affect their biological properties and regenerative potential. This study aimed to compare the release of growth factors from sticky bone prepared using S-PRF and A-PRF. This in vitro experimental study was conducted using blo
