Effect of Incorporation Platelet Rich Plasma into Synthetic Coral Scaffold toward Epithelial Thickness of Wound Healing

Tissue re-epithelialization is a process in wound healing. The healing process of wounds needs to pass through a phase of inflammatory, proliferation, and remodeling. Tissue engineering is the technology service in the field of medicine that can be applied in wound healing. A scaffold is a place for the molecule signal and cell growth to form new tissue. This study aims to investigate the ability of synthetic coral scaffold incorporated PRP in wound healing. Rattus norvegicus were used and divided into 4 groups, synthetic coral scaffold incorporated PRP, scaffold only, Spongostan, and control. The wound healing was observed on 3, 7, and 14 days by measuring the epithelial thickness. The average epithelium thickness on day 3 has not formed. The highest epithelial thickness on days 7 and 14 are obtained from the synthetic coral scaffolds incorporated by PRP. The result of this study presented that Synthetic coral scaffold incorporated by PRP has the highest ability for wound healing and increases the process of tissue regeneration.
