PRF - Platelet Rich Fibrin

PRF is a modern method used in both dentistry and aesthetic medicine, based on the use of platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient’s blood without the need for biochemical blood processing.
At Edent Wrocław, the PRF method is used to regenerate tissue, accelerate wound healing and improve oral health, as well as in hair restoration treatments.

How does PRF work?

PRF is a natural regenerative method that involves extracting platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s own blood. The blood is collected and centrifuged to isolate the plasma, which contains growth factors and stem cells. The PRF plasma is then injected into the treatment site, such as into the gums after surgery or into the scalp for the treatment of alopecia.

PRF in aesthetic medicine

PRF is also used in aesthetic medicine, especially in the treatment of alopecia. The injection of platelet-rich plasma into the scalp stimulates new hair growth and improves the condition of existing hair. The PRF treatment is completely safe as it uses the patient’s biological material, which minimises the risk of allergic reactions.

PRF in dentistry

In dentistry, PRF is particularly effective in accelerating healing after surgical procedures such as tooth extractions, implantology, periodontal disease treatment and bone regeneration. PRF plasma enhances tissue regeneration processes, reduces the risk of complications and accelerates healing, allowing the patient to go through the treatment process more quickly and comfortably.

PRF has the ability to accelerate processes of:

  • Angiogenesis – the formation of new blood vessels at the site of the defect.
  • The formation of fibroblasts and osteoblasts responsible for the production of new collagen and elastin fibres.
  • Wound healing.

Currently, one of the greatest challenges facing researchers is the development of bioactive surgical materials that allow bone defects to be reconstructed, minimising inflammation and accelerating healing. Both healing and tissue regeneration is a dynamic multilevel process influenced by the release of relevant growth factors at the defect site.Such a way of applying autogenous material releasing platelet cytokines is the use of platelet-rich fibrin . The advantage is the easy application of the pre-treated biomaterial directly at the site of bone loss.

The technique for obtaining platelet-rich fibrin was developed for use in periodontics and dental surgery. The preparation itself is extremely simple and consists in collecting venous blood from the patient immediately before or during surgery into 10 ml tubes, which are centrifuged using an EBA-20 centrifuge. This procedure results in the formation of a fibrin clot, as well as other unused fractions of blood cells and plasma. The fibrin matrix obtained controls the healing processes to a significant extent, accelerating them and, most importantly, will enhance the revascularisation of the graft by promoting angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels at the defect site).

Effects of autogenous membranes made from PRF:

  • Stimulation of bone growth at the site of bone loss (e.g. after extraction, resection, etc.).
  • Relieving pain and healing of the alveolar ridge when a so-called dry socket develops.
  • Accelerates the healing process, significantly reducing the effect of postoperative swelling.

Usage of PRF:

  • In the form of a membrane: e.g. as bone replacement during implant procedures, sinus lift in periodontics or as alveolar protection after tooth extraction.
  • In the form of cut material into small particles: using special scissors. These PRF particles can be mixed with autogenous or allogeneic regenerative material.
  • In the form of a membrane to close sinus mucosal perforations during the fundus lift procedure. The membrane easily fuses with the mucosa, which immediately regains its function.

The greatest advantage of this method, in addition to the aforementioned, is the biocompatibility and autogenous nature of the material, i.e. it is a natural membrane derived from the patient’s suitably prepared blood, rather than an artificial, (exogenous) substance carrying the risk of it not being absorbed by the body or of a reaction occurring.
