I thank the readers for finding this case report interesting and raising the issue regarding the terminology used. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) was activated with calcium chloride and hence coagulated PRP term has been used here. Fibrin matrix which is achieved with the use of PRP and exogenous activators has been given different terminology in the literature like platelet rich fibrin (PRF) matrix, PRF, platelet gel, PRF clot, PRP gel [1,2,3]. I agree with the readers that PRF is a widely accepted term for preparation with a natural coagulation pathway earlier known as Choukron's PRF. Hence PRP/PRF gel may be a better alternative term for the preparation as in the present case report. In the past two decades, this area has gone a lot of innovations and modifications [4]. PRF is a broad term that is used for various preparations, protocols and various variables affecting its composition. As there is a lot of heterogeneity regarding the terminology used, to better compare the results and drawing an inference, these terms may be correlated with the methodology used. I am thankful for giving me the opportunity to clarify my intent in this case report.
