Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) and platelet‑rich fibrin (PRF) against periodontal disease associated bacteria at two different time intervals. Subjects and Methods: Blood samples were obtained from ten patients. Procurement of PRP and PRF were done using centrifugation. The antibacterial activity of PRP and PRF was evaluated by microbial culturing using bacterial strains of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis at 2nd and 7th days. Results: At 2nd and 7th day, both P. gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans were inhibited by PRP but no zone of inhibition was seen by PRF. Conclusions: PRP can be used as a potential autologous concentrate against periodontal pathogens and also it may serve as an adjunct in the enhancement of periodontal regeneration.
