Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
TECHNOLOGY
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF ) is produced from your own blood and may be used in dental procedures such as tooth extraction or gum surgery.
PRF
​
PRF can be made into a membrane and is used for new bone formation:
-
following extractions
-
in periodontal bone loss around teeth.
It can be mixed with bone grafting material:
-
to rebuild the bone following extractions and gum surgery,
-
in bone repair from trauma and
-
prior to implant placement if there is insufficient bone for the implant.
The process
​
Blood is collected at the beginning of the procedure in special test tubes and spun in a customised centrifuge.
​
The blood can be processed in 2 ways, producing a solid fibrin-rich plug (PRF) or a liquid, injectable form (iPRF).
Injectable PRF (iPRF)
​
Injectable PRF is a liquid that can be used in the joints and around muscles and tendons. We combine this with low level laser.
