PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is a more modern or advanced version of PRP (platelet-rich plasma).
Your dentist in Hamlin, NY, uses PRF for the following:
- Wound Healing: After extraction, PRF helps prevent dry socket while accelerating healing.
- Bone Enhancement: PRF promotes bone growth or strength, aiding in dental implant placement and longevity.
- After Surgery: In procedures such as gum surgery, PRF can promote tissue regeneration, accelerating recovery.
- Grafting: PRF helps improve bone grafting success.
PRF use is not limited to the above list.
What Is PRF and how Is Harvested and Used?
PRF relies on your own biomaterial to aid in various treatments, specific surgery, and recovery.
First, we draw a small amount of blood and place it in a centrifuge. After the blood separates, we carefully collect the PRF material. Your dentist then uses this material in treatments to help ensure success or aid in healing.
Not every dental office uses PRF therapy, so it’s always best to ask!
