PRF – Platelet-rich fibrin

The use and utility in dentistry

Modern dentistry has significantly evolved, offering new and innovative methods to improve patients’ health and restoration. One of the most effective and advanced techniques is the use of PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin).

What is PRF

PRF is a product derived from the patient’s own blood. It is rich in platelets and growth factors, which play a crucial role in the healing and regeneration of tissues. The preparation process of PRF is simple: a small amount of blood is taken from the patient, which is then centrifuged to separate and collect the PRF.

Advantages of PRF in Dentistry

Acceleration of healing

The growth factors contained in PRF help tissues heal faster, reducing the recovery time for patients. This is particularly useful in procedures such as tooth extractions, implants, and periodontal surgeries.

Reduction of pain and inflammation

PRF has anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce pain and inflammation after surgical procedures. This contributes to a better patient experience and faster recovery.

Natural approach

Because PRF is derived from the patient’s own blood, it is completely biocompatible and there is no risk of allergic reactions or disease transmission. This makes it one of the safest options for promoting healing.

Improvement of bone and tissue regeneration

The use of PRF enhances the regeneration of bones and tissues, making it ideal for procedures such as bone regeneration before implant placement or the treatment of periodontal diseases.

Applications of PRF in Dentistry

Dental Implants

It improves the success of osseointegration and accelerates healing.

Tooth Extractions

It reduces pain and inflammation, promoting faster wound healing.

Periodontal Surgeries

It enhances the regeneration of bones and tissues, aiding in the treatment of periodontal diseases.

Bone Regeneration

It is used to restore bone mass before implant placement or in cases of bone loss.

PRF is one of the most innovative and effective techniques in dentistry, offering numerous benefits for faster and better healing.
