Core Tip	Barrier membranes are an important aspect of guided bone and tissue regeneration in periodontics and implant dentistry. Extensive research has been conducted on barrier membranes; however, no single ideal barrier membrane available. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is increasingly becoming popular in dentistry due to its growth factor-secreting properties and is also known to enhance wound healing and soft tissue thickness at the surgical site. However, PRF membranes are labelled as barrier membranes, although they do not fulfil the basic requirements of a barrier membrane.
