PRF-Method

Natural regeneration and gentle restoration require no foreign substances or side effects, making the process particularly gentle.


Using the body's own growth factors from your own blood

The PRF method – your body’s own healing booster
During surgical procedures, growth factors naturally support and accelerate wound healing. For you as a patient, this means faster recovery and less pain after surgery.

Natural regeneration and gentle tissue rebuilding without foreign substances or side effects make this approach particularly gentle on the body. The concentrated use of the natural growth factors in your blood accelerates wound healing.

No need to worry about the treatment: we take a small amount of your blood, distributed into several small tubes of no more than 10 ml each. These are centrifuged for about eight minutes, separating out specific components of your own blood. A so-called clot forms in the tubes; it is removed, further processed, and later placed back into the wound – where the healing booster gets to work.

In short: PRF supports your body’s own healing powers.

Questions and Answers

What is PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin)?
PRF stands for Platelet Rich Fibrin, an important component of the blood – without fibrin, the body’s “glue”, natural wound healing would be impossible.

This is exactly where the PRF method comes in: your physician or dentist takes a small amount of blood, which is centrifuged for around eight minutes. This process specifically filters out the growth factors responsible for wound healing, which are then returned to the wound area.

 

When does the healing booster help me?
The healing booster can be used in a wide range of medical procedures to support wound healing.

Areas of application include:

  • Bone augmentation after surgery
  • Healing and coverage of the surgical site
  • Healing and coverage of the tooth socket after an extraction
  • Correction of tissue deficits
  • Greater security for your implants
  • Aesthetic treatments

 

How does the booster work?
No need to worry: your physician or dentist takes a small amount of blood, distributed into several small tubes of up to 10 ml. These are centrifuged for about eight minutes, releasing specific components from your own blood. The resulting clot is removed from the tubes, processed, and later placed back into the wound – where the healing booster takes over.

Wound healing in fast forward
The healing booster supports the body’s own healing powers in a completely natural way and accelerates recovery. The targeted, concentrated use of the natural growth factors contained in the blood improves wound healing, reducing the risk of inflammation and infection. After a dental procedure, you experience less pain and feel well again sooner.

The method has been examined in numerous scientific studies and offers you the greatest possible safety.

 

Advantages of the method

  • Significantly better wound healing, less swelling, less pain, fewer infections
  • Better and faster bone and tissue regeneration, maximum bone preservation
  • No foreign material
  • The body’s own growth factors in concentrated form
  • Risk-free use, as only your own (autologous) blood is used
  • No allergic reactions
  • Scientifically validated

 

Areas of application:

  • Tooth extractions
  • Surgery during antiresorptive therapy, e.g. bisphosphonate therapy
  • Antibody therapy for osteoporosis or bone metastases
  • Dental Implants
  • Bone augmentation
  • Coverage of gum recession (recession coverage)
  • Coverage of gum recession (recession coverage)
  • Treatment of inflammatory lesions in the bone (FDOJ, NICO)

 


Method

  • Blood is drawn at the same time as the planned procedure
  • Special centrifugation sequence with 2–4 tubes
  • Extraction of concentrated growth factors (A-PRF, I-PRF)
  • Application of the highly concentrated autologous growth factors to the surgical site
