Therapy with autologous blood in modern oral surgery and periodontal surgery:
After dental surgery, the fastest possible wound healing, rapid and complete tissue regeneration are desirable for long-term treatment success. In modern oral surgery, we therefore use the PRGF method with autologous blood: This scientifically proven biomedical technology supports gentle and complete wound healing with autologous (the body’s own) material following oral surgery. With autologous blood therapy, implants heal better (improved osseointegration), as the implant site can be better prepared for the implant after tooth extraction and the bone can be completely preserved (socket preservation). In periodontal surgery, a PRF clot, protects the wound from infection and makes a positive contribution to rapid recovery.
In the case of surgical tooth or cyst removal, PRF therapy accelerates bone regeneration and bone defects can be filled.
The terms PRF/PRP:
PRP stands for “Platelet Rich Plasma”, PRF stands for “Platelet Rich Fibrin”. PRF is the body’s own fibrin-rich matrix, which is produced from the patient’s own blood by centrifugation. The body’s own matrix is rich in the protein fibrin (serves as a natural protective barrier against germs and contributes to blood clotting and wound closure) and is also rich in platelets, whose growth factors promote wound healing.
In the event of a wound, the body always produces large amounts of fibrin, thus stimulating wound healing and the formation of connective tissue and new bone.
Procedure of a PRF treatment in dentistry:
-A small amount of your own blood is required (maximum 60 millilitres). The blood sample is taken in our practice.
-The collected blood is split by centrifugation, fractionated and fibrin and growth factors are filtered out within minutes.
-The platelet rich fibrin can be used directly as a membrane, as a liquid or as a clot, depending on the intended use.
All the advantages of PRF:
-PRF is completely autologous and therefore biocompatible. Often no membranes or xenogenic bone of animal origin are required.
-Suitable for pain reduction after wisdom tooth surgery.
-Accelerates and improves wound healing. This is associated with less pain and complete tissue regeneration, as the dimensions of the bone are preserved and the risk of infection and complications after oral surgery is reduced.
-Less swelling, inflammation and pain.
-Autohaemotherapy is suitable for all modern oral surgery, periodontal surgery and periodontal regeneration with open wounds.
-There is no risk of rejection reactions as only autologous blood is used.
-Preparation takes only 15-20 minutes, depending on the intended use
-Low costs
