Closure of cleft lip and palate, sinus lift, ridge augmentation, and inlay and overlay grafts. It is used in reconstruction of facial trauma, repair of defects caused by tooth extraction, or removal of growths and cysts
Platelet-rich fibrin application is widely used today to speed up the healing process after surgery, and it is completely safe. Since the blood used is from the patient's own body, disease transmission is not an issue
Almost all patients report a significantly greater sense of well-being immediately after treatment. In addition, PRF offers a number of other important benefits
Reduced risk of infection
The dentist applies PRF firmly to the wound after the procedure and actually seals the wound against infectious agents, reducing the risk of problems. Thanks to its growth factors, PRF wound care helps increase tissue synthesis, which in turn leads to faster tissue regeneration. Faster healing reduces the risk of secondary infections, complications and discomfort
Comfort
Disease transmission is not a problem because the patient's own blood is drawn. The amount of blood required is small and can be drawn during an outpatient procedure.
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) and its predecessor, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), are categorized as autologous blood concentrates, which are blood products made from the patient's own blood. The physician takes a blood sample from the patient and then concentrates it using a centrifuge to separate the various blood components into individual concentrated layers
The resulting PRF is a yellow, gel-like membrane that is then typically compressed into a flatter membrane
This membrane can then be adapted over the bone graft material, combined with the bone graft material, and/or positioned around or on the dental implant to provide a biological membrane that promotes bone maturation and the health of the keratinized gingival tissue
PRF can also be used in periodontal surgery as a sole graft material. In addition, this material is extremely helpful in repairing perforations during sinus augmentation, preventing infection, and improving clinical outcomes
Fistula Repair
This includes the repair of fistulas between the mouth and sinuses.
