What is the PRP
PRP is essentially blood plasma rich in platelets after special treatment. Platelets are designed to heal injured tissues thanks to their content of growth factors.
a-PRF is the clot created from the patient’s platelets which clot and are used as autologous membranes and grafts.
What are the advantages of using a-PRF in surgical procedures and dental implants
PROMOTION OF HEALING
PRF contains high concentrations of growth factors that promote bone and soft tissue healing. This can reduce recovery time and speed up the integration of tooth implants without pain.
IMPROVED STABILITY OF THE IMPLANT
The use of PRF around the tooth implant can improve bone formation around the implant, providing a more stable and secure base for the tooth.
REDUCTION OF THE RISK OF REJECTION
The use of PRF can reduce the risk of implant rejection as it promotes implant integration into the surrounding bone. This is achieved by minimizing the inflammatory response.
NATURAL SOURCE
PRF is derived from the patient’s own blood, so there is no risk of rejection or adverse reaction.
Uses of the a-PRF in dentistry
-Lifting and reshaping of the sinus floor for implant placement
-Soft and hard tissue grafts (sticky bone)
-Periodontic treatments
-preservation of the intermaxillary fossae for future implant placement
-Improving healing in surgical techniques
