Currently, autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) are frequently used for soft- and hard-tissue regeneration, not only within the oral cavity, but also extra-orally including chronic wounds, burns, joints, dermatological conditions, among others. The benefits of APCs are largely influenced by the treatment strategy but also their preparation. This paper therefore discusses in detail: the physical properties of blood cells, the basic principles of blood centrifugation, the impact of the centrifugation protocol (rotations/revolutions per minute, g-force, variation between centrifuges), the importance of timing during the preparation of APCs, the impact of the inner surface of the blood tubes, the use/nonuse of anticoagulants within APC tubes, the impact of the patient's hematocrit, age, and gender, as well as the important requirements for an optimal centrifugation protocol. All these variables indeed have a significant impact on the clinical outcome of APCs.
