We use PRF treatment to make oral surgery easier for patients and give them better outcomes. This therapy uses the body's regenerative power to help speed healing and prevent infections during and after surgical procedures. PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin, made from the patient's blood in a simple procedure. This article looks closely at PRF treatment and how it makes a difference in oral surgery.
You may have heard of PRP or platelet-rich plasma treatment used in injury and wound healing as well as some cosmetic and oral surgery procedures. PRF treatment is similar because it is also an analogous blood concentrate from the patient's blood. In addition, there is a similar process for both PRP and PRF. The surgeon draws blood from the patient and puts it in a centrifuge to separate elements promoting regeneration and healing.
However, when making PRF, the centrifuge works at a slower setting to isolate more growth factors. The end product of the process is a mesh made of fibrin, stem cells, platelets, and white blood cells. The white blood cells give PRF an antibacterial power, while the stem cells and platelets give it healing and regenerative power. Fibrin is a protein that holds the mesh together.
PRF treatment is used in oral surgical procedures to accelerate healing, encourage regeneration and provide an extra barrier against infections. This therapy can be implemented in soft or hard tissue procedures, including gum surgery, tooth extractions, and dental implant surgery.
PRF treatment can help prevent or decrease the risk of dry sockets after tooth extraction. Oral surgeons can also use PRF to stimulate bone growth in conjunction with a bone grafting procedure. The dental implant process can involve months of healing. However, incorporating PRF treatment can help shorten the healing process. PRF therapy can even help prevent dental implant failure. Other procedures that benefit from PRF include:
In addition to faster healing times, PRF treatment is making oral surgery easier for the patient in many ways. Patients can enjoy not only a shorter recovery but also one with reduced discomfort and swelling. Also, because it is made from the patient's own blood, the risk of inflammation or an adverse reaction is low. In addition, PRF gives patients extra protection against infection, one of the most significant worries after a surgical procedure. Finally, the procedure to create PRF is simple and can be carried out in the oral surgeon's office during the outpatient procedure.
