PRF Educational Courses

“The most modern technique for Bone Regeneration”

What is it?

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a fibrin matrix rich in platelets and cells that will release cytokines and growth factors that can serve as a resorbable membrane.

EASY STEPS

Implementing PRF into any dental practice is simple, cost effective and patient friendly.

1. Draw blood using our patented pre- packaged sterile PRF vacuum tubes.
2. Process the tubes in the PRF Centrifuge using the automatic program settings.
3. Separate and compress the white clot, then process in the PRF Box to obtain uniform membranes and/or socket bone.
4. Apply PRF membranes / plugs directly or mix with bone to make PRF sticky bone.
5. Make PRF steaky bone if needed, by using PRF liquid.

BENEFITS

- Reduces the wait time from extraction to implant healing.

- Dramatically reduces expenses of collagen membranes & bone materials.

- Dental insurances pay up to $285 per PRF application (most PPO’s)

- Clinician’s time is less than 5 minutes.

Growth Factors From PRF are being used in:

Dentistry:

- Post extraction site preservation

- Implant placement on type lll & IV bone

- Immediate implant placement

- Trauma cases

- Grafting bone defects in oral surgery

- Periodontal surgery in hard & soft tissue

- Sinus membrane perforation & sinus lift

- Oro- Antral communications repair
