Platelet Rich Fibrin

Platelet Rich Fibrin

Here at Attia Oral, Facial & Implant Surgery, our Roswell Oral Surgeon Dr. Attia is pleased to offer patients cutting-edge platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy to accelerate the healing of various oral surgery procedures. PRF is a unique, individualized form of medicine derived from your own blood and created in our office.

What is Platelet Rich Fibrin?

If you are a candidate for platelet-rich fibrin treatment, we will extract a blood sample from you before your oral procedure. We will spin this blood through a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells. Those last three elements form a clot, which we can place over the surgical site to speed up healing.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin Benefits in Oral Surgery

PRF is a highly individualized recovery treatment with several benefits for recovering from an oral surgery procedure, including:

• Faster surgical site healing—The platelet-rich fibrin condenses your body’s own growth factors, platelets, and white blood cells, which alert your cells at the surgical site to kick into gear to regenerate new tissue while also fighting potential infection.
• Reduces infection risks—The concentrated white blood cell count of the PRF application fights any potential infection. Along with proper aftercare, PRF-treated areas have a lower infection rate.
• Safe and convenient—Treating oral surgery sites with platelet-rich fibrin reduces allergic reactions and disease transmission because the medicine is made from your blood supply. We only need a small amount and we will collect that on the day of your procedure.

How is Platelet Rich Fibrin Used in Oral Surgery?

During your initial consultation, we can discuss your medical history and determine if you are a good candidate for PRF. If so, we may apply platelet-rich fibrin treatment to speed the healing of oral surgery procedures including:

• Bone grafts
• Cleft lip or cleft palate closure
• Ridge Augmentation
• Sinus lifts
• Socket preservation grafting
• Tooth extractions
• Fistula repairs between the mouth and sinus cavity
• A barrier separating soft tissues and bone
