Secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) is usually performed when the permanent canine root shows one-half to two-thirds of root development. To improve the surgical outcome, supplemental grafting materials such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) have been used as an adjunct. This review is designed to assess the efficacy of PRF and PRP in improving the outcome of SABG. (2) Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed until 13 October 2022 on MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, and Pubmed. The full text of potentially relevant studies was reviewed, and only randomised clinical trials (RCTs) were included based on the inclusion criteria. (3) Results: A total of 656 studies were screened, of which four were included for final review. All of the four included studies that evaluated the quantitative or qualitative surgical outcome in varied ways. (4) Conclusions: Results of this review suggest that both PRF or PRP and control group (without the use of PRF\/PRP) achieved similar successful outcomes in bone height, bone density, and bone volume in both qualitative and quantitative assessment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13071875","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,25]],"date-time":"2024-03-25T12:32:36Z","timestamp":1711369956000},"page":"1875","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The Effect of Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Platelet-Rich Plasma in Secondary Alveolar Bone Grafting in Cleft Lip and Palate Patients: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-9844-8546","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Showbanaa","family":"Thangarajah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 50300, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5185-3007","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rifqah","family":"Nordin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 50300, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huann Lan","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 50300, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui Yuh","family":"Soh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 50300, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6709-357X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Syed","family":"Nabil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 50300, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"55","article-title":"An Updated Treatment of Complete Cleft Palate: A Retrospective Study","volume":"4","author":"Rahoma","year":"2008","journal-title":"Malays.
