What is PRF(Platelet-Rich Fibrin)?

PRF, or Platelet-Rich Fibrin, is a concentration of platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood that helps accelerate healing and tissue regeneration. In dentistry, PRF is pressed into a membrane as a kind of natural healing bandage to be placed in extractions, over bone grafts, etc.

How is PRF Done?

What to Expect

  1. Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is taken, similar to a lab test.

  2. PRP Preparation: The blood is spun in a centrifuge and pulled out with a syringe to isolate the PRP. The PRP is then mixed with bone graft material.

  3. (opt.) Bone Placement: The graft material is placed in the treatment site.

  4. PRF Application: Bone grafts are used alongside PRF treatment to better seal in the bone graft material.

  5. Sutures are used to close the site.
