They could occur as complications of oral and maxillofacial procedures. Oronasal fistulas (ONF) are challenging to repair optimally. The repair of a recurrent ONF is more of an enigma in cases where a small defect often requires an extensive surgery to close. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) was described by Choukroun as a platelet concentrate from autologous blood which forms a single fibrin biomaterial after centrifugation. This haemostatic plug rich in growth factors is easy to prepare, manipulate; and adapt for soft and hard tissue healing. It has been utilized in the various fields of dentistry especially oral and maxillofacial surgery. Reports of role of PRF in the repair of ONF closure are scarce in literature especially in conjunction with other soft tissue flaps. This case report highlights that PRF can be used with success as an adjunct for the closure of ONF fistulas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jwas.jwas_41_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,27]],"date-time":"2022-08-27T07:34:04Z","timestamp":1661585644000},"page":"115-118","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Role of Platelet Rich Fibrin in the Closure of Oronasal Fistula. a Case Report"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Abdurrazaq Olanrewaju","family":"Taiwo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramat Oyebunmi","family":"Braimah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruno Oludare","family":"Ile-Ogendengbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdullah Mohammed","family":"Farouk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-20-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.4103\/2231-0746.83158","article-title":"Platelet-rich fibrin: A second generation platelet concentrate and a new friend of oral and maxillofacial surgeons","volume":"1","author":"Saluja H","year":"2011","journal-title":"Ann Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R3-20-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1016\/j.oooo.2018.08.010","article-title":"Autologous platelet-rich fibrin: Can it secure a better healing?","volume":"127","author":"Kapse","year":"2019","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol"},{"key":"R4-20-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1941","DOI":"10.1007\/s00784-013-1170-5","article-title":"Platelet-rich fibrin in the treatment of localized gingival recessions: A split-mouth randomized clinical trial","volume":"18","author":"Eren","year":"2014","journal-title":"Clin Oral Investig"},{"key":"R6-20-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"780","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0b013e31824dbd68","article-title":"Three-layer oronasal fistula repair with sandwiched mastoid fascia graft","volume":"23","author":"Tun\u00e7bilek","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Craniofac Surg"},{"key":"R7-20-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5752","DOI":"10.21608\/ejhm.2019.63231","article-title":"Evaluation of autologous platelet rich fibrin in cleft palate repair","volume":"77","author":"Soliman","year":"2019","journal-title":"Egyptian J Hosp Med"},{"key":"R8-20-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1436","DOI":"10.1097\/01.prs.0000239612.35581.c3","article-title":"Repair of oronasal fistulae with acellular dermal matrices","volume":"118","author":"Kirschner","year":"2006","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"R9-20-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biologicals.2012.07.004","article-title":"A proposed protocol for the standardized preparation of Prf membranes for clinical use","volume":"40","author":"Kobayashi","year":"2012","journal-title":"Biologicals"},{"key":"R10-20-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"117","DOI":"10.4103\/ams.ams_77_17","article-title":"Closure of oroantral communication using platelet-rich fibrin: A report of two cases","volume":"7","author":"Assad","year":"2017","journal-title":"Ann Maxillofac Surg"}],"container-title":["Journal of West African College of Surgeons"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jwas.jwas_41_22","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T15:10:34Z","timestamp":1787757034000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jwas.jwas_41_22"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,4]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jwas.jwas_41_22","relation":{},"ISSN":["2276-6944"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2276-6944","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,4]]}}}
