PRF
Platelet-Rich Fibrin

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a biologic, autologous healing material made from the patient’s own blood. It is a fibrin matrix rich in platelets, growth factors and white blood cells. These components are slowly released over days, stimulating faster soft-tissue healing, better bone regeneration and reduced pain and swelling. That is the reason why patients often report less post-op discomfort, faster return to normal activity and smoother healing overall.

This procedure uses your body’s own healing potential to promote faster recovery, reduce discomfort, and improved healing after surgical procedures. That’s why is often used in extraction sockets, around implants during surgery specially mixed with bone grafts to improve regeneration and in periodontal (gum) surgeries.

The Platelet-Rich Fibrin is especially valuable in implant surgery and wisdom tooth extractions because it enhances healing without foreign materials or medications, therefore: no additives, no chemicals, no risk of rejection.

How PRF is made

A small amount of blood is drawn (similar to a lab test)

It’s spun in a centrifuge without anticoagulants

The blood naturally separates

The PRF layer is collected and used immediately

Because it’s 100% autologous, it’s extremely safe

PRF is commonly used in dentistry to

Improve bone healing around implants

Enhance soft-tissue thickness and stability

Support bone graft integration

Reduce post-operative discomfort

Benefits for implant patients

Faster healing

Lower inflammation

Better tissue quality

Improved long-term implant stability

Reduce pain and swelling

Lower risk of dry socket

Accelerate gum and bone healing

Improve comfort during recovery

PRF is especially powerful for wisdom teeth removal. It is placed into the extraction site to:

PRF vs. “Traditional” Healing
Criterion Traditional Healing PRF-Assisted Healing
Biological Basis Natural clot only Enhanced biologic scaffold
Inflammatory Response More inflammation Reduced inflammation
Speed Slower healing Faster, more organized healing
Risk of Complications Higher dry socket risk Lower dry socket risk
