Abstract

Background: Autologous platelet concentrates, including platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) matrices, have been proposed as biologically active scaffolds for vital pulp therapy. Evidence on the clinical use of different solid PRF matrices for direct pulp capping remains limited. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe and monitor two clinical cases of reversible pulpitis treated with direct pulp capping using two PRF membranes prepared by different centrifugation approaches, namely advanced platelet-rich fibrin plus (A-PRF+) and horizontal platelet-rich fibrin plus (H-PRF). Methods: In Case 1, A-PRF+ was prepared using a fixed-angle centrifugation protocol; in Case 2, H-PRF was prepared using a horizontal centrifugation protocol. In both cases, deep carious lesions with small carious pulp exposures (
