What Is Platelet Rich Fibrin?
At ORA4X Dental Implants in Elk Grove, CA, we utilize Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to enhance healing, reduce recovery time, and improve surgical outcomes for our patients. PRF is a natural, bio-friendly substance derived from your own blood, making it 100% safe and resistant to tissue rejection. This cutting-edge technique is particularly beneficial for dental implant procedures, bone grafting, and tooth extractions, as it accelerates healing, minimizes discomfort, and enhances tissue regeneration. During your outpatient procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn, processed using advanced technology, and then applied to the surgical site. This stimulates faster healing by releasing growth factors that promote tissue repair and bone regeneration. If you’re undergoing a dental implant or oral surgery at ORA4X, Dr. Devan Dalla may recommend PRF to ensure a smoother, faster recovery.
How Platelet Rich Fibrin Works In Your Body
At ORA4X Dental Implants in Elk Grove, CA, we utilize Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery after dental implant surgery, bone grafting, and extractions. PRF works by harnessing the body’s natural healing process at an accelerated rate, allowing for faster tissue regeneration and minimized post-surgical discomfort. When an injury occurs, the body sends specialized platelets to the site to form a clot and release growth factors (GF), including platelet-derived growth factors (PGDF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF), and insulin-like growth factor (ILGF). These growth factors stimulate stem cells to regenerate new tissue and bone, ensuring a stronger, healthier recovery. By concentrating more platelets and growth factors at the surgical site, PRF enhances the body’s ability to heal itself naturally and efficiently. If you’re undergoing a dental implant procedure or oral surgery in Elk Grove, Dr. Devan Dalla and our expert team may recommend PRF for optimal recovery.
The Many Clinical Applications Of Platelet Rich Fibrin:
- Covering/securing bone grafts for dental implants
- Speeding repair of bone defects after removal of teeth or small cysts, especially in medially-compromised patients (smokers, diabetics, on blood thinners, on bisphosphonates, etc.)
- Repairing communications between the sinus and oral cavity
- Preventing dry sockets
