It is very important to us to provide you with the best possible treatment and to support your body in healing the bone and soft tissue. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) concentrates from your own blood help with this.
When tissue is injured, the platelets activate messenger substances for regeneration and thus stimulate cells to build up tissue. However, this takes a certain amount of time. The time required for the healing process can be shortened by the use of platelet concentrates, thus promoting healing.
By taking a blood sample and centrifuging it, an endogenous matrix, or PRF for short. This has a high concentration of proteins and cells that are essential for the healing process. The German Society for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery recommends the use of recommends the use of autologous blood in the form of a PRF membrane to relieve pain and reduce pain and swelling after surgery.
Immediately before the surgical procedure, a small amount of blood is taken from you in our practice and centrifuged, which allows the different components of the blood to be separated, the growth factors to be isolated and obtained in highly concentrated form in membranes. These are applied to the appropriate area after tooth removal, implantation, bone augmentation or gum surgery, for example, to accelerate tissue regeneration in that area and improve healing overall.
The treatment is very well tolerated, as the membranes are made of the body's own material and therefore do not cause allergic reactions. This method does not use any chemical additives or additives foreign to the body.
It has been our experience that public and often private health insurance companies may not cover the costs of this treatment.
