A comparative, longitudinal and prospective study of 60 adults with deep burns, assisted in "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital was carried out in Santiago de Cuba, from February, 2013 to the same month of 2014, to evaluate the effectiveness of the regenerative therapy with platelets rich plasma for the scaring of these lesions. The sample was divided into 2 groups of 30 members each: in those of the first group platelets rich plasma was applied and in those of the second group silver sulfadiazine was used. The absolute frequencies and the percentage were used as summary measures for qualitative variables, as well as the arithmetic mean and the standard deviation for the quantitative ones. With procedure applied, the scaring was completed at the least time, so that the effectiveness of this therapeutic alternative was demonstrated in relation to the conventional treatment
