At our dental practice, we use Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to help improve bone and soft tissue regeneration. PRF is made from spinning a small sample of your own blood to separate out the growth factors, platelets, and white blood cells that fight infection. PRF leverages your own body’s regenerative capabilities for superior results. This platelet treatment is used during many different oral surgery and periodontal procedures. PRF reduces healing time and can decrease post-treatment pain and swelling.
Some patients have heard of PRP (Platelet- Rich Plasma) instead of PRF when it comes to platelet concentrates. PRF is the next generation of platelet concentrates. PRF does not require any exogenous additives and produces a larger share of product from the blood sample.
