Cleft lip and palate closure, sinus lift, ridge augmentation, and inlay and overlay grafting. It is used to reconstruct facial trauma, repair defects after tooth extractions, or remove growths and cysts.
The use of platelet-rich fibrin is now widely used to speed up the healing process after surgery and is completely safe. Since the blood used is from the patient's own body, disease transmission is not a concern.
Almost all patients report a significantly improved sense of well-being immediately after treatment. In addition, PHF offers a number of other important benefits:
Reduced risk of infection
The dentist applies PRF firmly to the wound after the procedure, effectively sealing it against infectious agents. Thanks to its growth factors, PRF wound treatment helps increase tissue synthesis, which in turn leads to faster tissue regeneration. Faster wound healing reduces the risk of secondary infections, complications and discomfort.
Comfort
Disease transmission is not a problem because patient's own blood is used. The amount of blood required is small and can be drawn during an outpatient procedure.
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) and its precursor PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are classified as autologous blood concentrates, which are blood products made from the patient's own blood. The physician takes a blood sample from the patient and concentrates it in a centrifuge to separate the various blood components into individual concentrated layers.
The resulting PRF is a yellow, gel-like membrane that is usually pressed into a flatter membrane.
These membranes can then be placed on top of the bone graft, combined with the bone graft, and/or positioned around or on top of the dental implant to provide a biological membrane that promotes bone maturation and keratinized gingival tissue health.
PRF can also be used as a sole grafting material in periodontal surgery. In addition, this material is very helpful in repairing perforations during sinus augmentation to prevent infection and improve clinical outcomes.
Fistula repair
This includes the repair of fistulas between the mouth and sinuses.
