Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test effect of menstrual cycle (MC) on growth factors of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) in health condition. The main questions it aims to answer are:

question 1: Does MC have an effect on growth factors in PRF? question 2: In which menstrual phase are growth factors higher? question 3:Does the change in the number of blood cells in the menstrual cycle have an effect on PRF? Participants will describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do.

Detailed Description

Abstract Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is frequently used in periodontal regenerative treatments. Thanks to the growth factors in its content, it affects the healing positively. Studies have shown that the size and content of PRF are affected by variables such as age, gender, centrifugation speed and inflammation.

It is known that during the menstrual cycle (MS) phases in women, changes occur in cell numbers and growth factors in the blood. The aim of this study is to determine the size of the PRF and the epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

PRF membrane will be formed from the blood of each individual in the study, taken on days 1-2 (M), 8-10 (PF), 12-14 (OD) and days 22-24 before menstruation (PmD). The size of the membranes will be measured. On the same days, individuals will have a complete blood count. The growth factors levels of each PRF membrane obtained at the 1st, 24th and 72nd hours will be determined.

At the end of the study, the growth factors contents of the PRF membranes obtained in different phases of MS will be compared. In addition, the effect of the results of the complete blood count of the individuals on the PRF membrane will be evaluated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in PDGF in the obtained PRF during the menstrual cycle1 month

PRF membrane will be formed from the blood of each individual in the study, taken on days 1-2 (M), 8-10 (PF), 12-14 (OD) and days 22-24 before menstruation (PmD). PDGF levels of each PRF membrane obtained at the 1st, 24th and 72nd hours will be determined.

At the end of the study, PDGF contents of the PRF membranes obtained in different phases of MS will be compared.

Changes in VEGF in the obtained PRF during the menstrual cycle1 month

PRF membrane will be formed from the blood of each individual in the study, taken on days 1-2 (M), 8-10 (PF), 12-14 (OD) and days 22-24 before menstruation (PmD). VEGF levels of each PRF membrane obtained at the 1st, 24th and 72nd hours will be determined.

At the end of the study, VEGF contents of the PRF membranes obtained in different phases of MS will be compared.

Changes in EGF in the obtained PRF during the menstrual cycle1 month

PRF membrane will be formed from the blood of each individual in the study, taken on days 1-2 (M), 8-10 (PF), 12-14 (OD) and days 22-24 before menstruation (PmD). EGF levels of each PRF membrane obtained at the 1st, 24th and 72nd hours will be determined.

At the end of the study, EGF contents of the PRF membranes obtained in different phases of MS will be compared.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in the proportion of red blood cells and its effect on PRF.1 month

PRF membrane will be formed from the blood of each individual in the study, taken on days 1-2 (M), 8-10 (PF), 12-14 (OD) and days 22-24 before menstruation (PmD).At the same time, complete blood count of the participants will be done. Changes in the proportion of red blood cells throughout MS will be examined. The effect of changes in the proportion of red blood cells on PRF size will be evaluated. PRF length and width will be measured in mm. The proportion of red blood cells will be evaluated with hematocrit level, an instrument for measuring the ratio of the volume of red blood cells to the total volume of blood.
