Abstract

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a biological material made from the patient's own blood. It is a natural material and not synthetic. PRF is rich in growth factors necessary for tissue healing and repair. It is also rich in leukocytes, which are immune system cells that help protect the patient against infections. PRF can be used to accelerate the healing process, reduce pain and bleeding and improve the aesthetics of the final result. It can also be used to improve the effectiveness of other medical and dental treatments, ranging from extractions to orofacial harmonization. This technology can be used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, implant dentistry, periodontics, orofacial harmonization, plastic surgery, burns, chronic wounds, degenerative diseases and autoimmune diseases. PRF is a safe and effective technology that has the potential to improve the quality of life for many patients.
