A-PRF / I-PRF plasma treatments
Plasma treatments in dentistry
One of the newest techniques successfully used in dentistry, especially in oral implantology and facial aesthetics is the A-PRF and I-PRF technique. A-PRF is a fibrin-rich plasma that is obtained from blood extracted from the patient and processed by specific laboratory procedures, namely centrifugation. Plasma extraction and processing is performed during dental surgery (extraction, sinus lift, dental implant) and these operations are completed with the use of the plasma obtained in the surgical area.
Centrifugation without anticoagulants allows the recovery of the fibrin clot containing the platelets and therefore their growth factors which are among others, PDGF (Platelet-derived growth factor), TGF Beta (Transforming growth factor beta) and VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor). Fibrin thus plays a dual role: cytokine reservoir and cellular healing matrix.
Pre-care instructions and relative contraindications:
Treatment description:
- A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area
- Remove approximately 10 cmc of blood from the arm
- The harvested blood is centrifuged to separate the component cells
- Platelets, leukocytes and mesenchymal stem cells are separated and used for this procedure
- The liquid is then transferred into a syringe and injected using a small needle.
- What is platelet-rich plasma (PRF plasma treatment)?
- How does PRF plasma treatment work?
- How much does a PRP / PRF treatment cost?
Plasma is a component of blood that contains proteins that help blood to clot as well as support cell growth. Platelets are found in the blood and are responsible for recognising and repairing damaged cells by forming a plug or clot. PRF treatments use processes to heal the body rapidly.
Process: a member of the Dentosan Med team will draw your blood using a small needle. The small vial of blood will be placed and spun in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. The process concentrates the platelet count to about 4x the normal amount. The platelet-rich plasma is then applied locally. PRF has been shown to help heal the site of dental surgery much faster.
