Now there is a revolutionary technique gaining popularity in the dental and medical fields that is able to substantially shorten a patient’s healing time following a procedure. This method is called Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) or Platelet Rich Growth in Factors (PRGF).

PRF (PRFM) describes a method of using all-natural platelet gel from the patient’s body to stimulate bone and soft tissue growth for faster healing.

The PRF method was originated in France and was recently introduced to the United States.

It is very effective in speeding up the patient’s healing process.

Surgical applications in a Dental Office setting include guided Tissue Regeneration, Sinus Grafting, Periodontal Surgery with Osseous Recontouring, Bone Grafting and even Dental Implant Placement Surgery.

PRF PROCEDURE

1.- To create the PRF material, blood is taken from the patient.
2.- Spun by a special machine called a centrifuge into a platelet concentration.
3, 4 .- This platelet concentration is then produced into membranes which are rich in white blood cells and blood vessel growth factors.
5.- The membranes are then placed on or over the area which accelerated healing is desired.
6.- These membranes are completely made of the patient’s own bodily material and promote wound healing and sealing, bone growth, and graft stabilization.

This method of promoting cell regeneration is unique compared to more traditionally used techniques because the need to add anticoagulants, bone-derived thrombin, or other unnatural chemicals to the cell mixture is unnecessary.

The surgeon is able to use the patient's own membrane instead of synthetic or animal membranes, eliminating the possibility of rejection.
