PRF therapy (Platelet Rich Fibrin) is an innovative method in dentistry, first developed at an international training centre in Nice. The method is based on the use of the patient’s natural fibrin material for rapid wound healing after surgical procedures such as tooth extraction, treatment of inflammation in the oral cavity, periodontitis. The PRF method promotes the natural process of cell regeneration and activates the body’s defence functions.
Methodology of PRF preparation
The material for the PRF preparation is the patient’s blood. It is a part of plasma with a high content of fibrin, platelets and elements for the growth of vascular tissues. PRF-membrane can be obtained within 8-12 minutes in the office of the doctor of the clinic Dent-House in Odessa. It is made in a plastic tube using a plasma activator or in a glass flask using a centrifuge with high speed material processing. To get a PRP-preparation, a small amount of blood is required, while the result of its use is rapid wound healing and tissue recovery after surgery.
Useful qualities of PRF-derived fibrin
The effectiveness of fibrin obtained by the PRF method is very high, so it is actively used by dentists of the Dent-House Clinic in Odessa. With its help, inflammation will be avoided, cell growth is accelerated, tissues are restored much faster. Platelet-enriched plasma from the patient’s own blood does not cause allergies and rejection, as it happens when using artificial materials. Among the main useful properties of fibrin:
- Stimulates wound healing due to its property of regenerating hard and soft tissues.
- Shortens the healing and recovery time after surgical intervention, e.g. in the treatment of granuloma. The patient’s condition improves significantly in the shortest possible time.
- Increases the success rate of implantation by minimising the risk of complications.
- Reduces tissue scarring and helps to preserve the natural structure of the tissue.
