What is PRF?

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is the most modern autologous blood concentrate technique used in dentistry to accelerate healing and improve graft results - without synthetic materials. Our hands-on course gives you the clinical skills to use PRF effectively in your own practice.

Benefits of Using PRF in Your Practice

• Preserves bone width after tooth extractions
• Speeds up the timeline for implant placement
• Makes bone grafts easier to handle during procedures
• Reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation after surgery
• Lowers the chance of complications like dry socket
• Covered by many PPO dental insurance plans (up to $285)
• Replaces expensive collagen membranes and other materials
• Quick and easy to prepare chairside in less than 5 minutes

Common Clinical Uses for PRF

• Extraction site preservation
• Bone grafting and ridge augmentation
• Implant placement
• Sinus lifts
• Socket grafting
• Guided bone regeneration
• Soft tissue grafting
• Periapical defect repair
• Furcation treatment
• Bone graft membrane substitute

How PRF Is Prepared: Step-by-Step

1. Draw the patient's blood using sterile PRF vacuum tubes
2. Place the tubes into the PRF centrifuge and run the preset program
3. Separate and compress the PRF clot using the PRF box
4. Prepare PRF membranes or plugs for application
5. If needed, create "sticky bone" by mixing PRF with grafting material
