Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP/PRF)

Accelerating Healing and Beyond

​

What Is PRP?

PRP is a remarkable therapy that utilizes the patient’s own blood to promote natural healing. Here’s how it works:

1. Blood Collection: A small blood sample is drawn from the patient.

2. Centrifugation: The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate its components.

3. Platelet Concentration: The concentrated platelets (tiny blood clotting cells) are extracted.

4. Application: PRP is then applied to the surgical site.

 

Why Is PRP Important?

1. Faster Healing: PRP accelerates tissue and bone regeneration after oral surgery, including tooth extractions, implants, and maxillofacial procedures.

2. Reduced Pain and Swelling: Patients experience less post-op pain and swelling.

3. Enhanced Bone Structure: PRP strengthens bone after grafts and dental implant placement.

4. Lower Risk of Dry Socket: PRP decreases the occurrence of dry socket after tooth extraction.

 

Advantages of PRP:

• Safety: PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, eliminating disease transmission concerns.

• Natural Healing: It stimulates the body’s healing process with therapeutic platelets.

• Cost-Effective: PRP is simple to prepare and cost-efficient.
