At Ridge Oral Surgery, we are committed to using advanced clinical technology to promote your safety, expedite your recovery, and optimize your surgical results. We use platelet rich fibrin, or PRF, in conjunction with other treatments to enhance your body’s healing capabilities.
PRF is a byproduct of your own blood plasma. We extract it via a simple blood draw, not unlike what you would experience during a routine physical checkup. We then place your blood sample into a centrifuge, which spins and purifies the blood, separating the PRF and other essential growth factors.
PRF then promotes your recovery and expedites healing by being injected into the treatment site or combined with bone grafting materials.
We use PRF during oral surgery procedures in several ways. Some of the most common methods include:
One of the primary reasons why we use PRF is to expedite your healing process. PRF signals your cells to repair certain areas, which can mean shorter recovery times with quick and comfortable recovery. In other words, PRF is used to get you back on your feet again as quickly as possible following oral surgery.
Additional benefits include:
Our practice is proud to use advanced technologies like PRF to promote patient healing and well-being. To learn more about optimizing your health, we welcome you to schedule a consultation at our Basking Ridge, NJ practice.
