Various types of autologous platelet concentrate that are typically prepared from patients' blood have been discovered according to their preparation method and centrifugation protocol, type of tubes, and whether they require biochemical additives such as anticoagulants with different structural and regenerative properties. This review article aimed to clarify the generations and forms of platelet concentrates their preparation methods, biological action, composition, and application in dentistry.
