Prf Application
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a treatment method that is contained in your own blood and accelerates the healing process. PRF is a regenerative medicine method used during surgical procedures or for treatment in dentistry.
The PRF process includes the following steps:
Blood sampling: Before the procedure begins, a sample of the patient's own blood is taken. This sample is processed using a special tube or centrifuge.
Centrifugation: The blood sample is separated into its components by spinning in a centrifuge. As a result, layers are formed between the blood plasma, platelets and fibrin clots.
PRF extraction: The plasma and platelets obtained by centrifugation are used together with fibrin clots to form a PRF gel. This gel can be used to promote tissue healing and to ensure a faster recovery.
The use of PRF in dentistry can be in various fields. For example:
Dental implants: PRF can be used during implant surgery to accelerate the healing process of the implant placement site and promote bone tissue regeneration.
Tooth extraction PRF can promote faster healing of alveolar pits after tooth extraction.
Periodontal treatment: PRF can be used in the treatment of periodontal diseases, promoting the healing of gum tissue.
The advantages of PRF include the fact that it is a natural material, the use of your own blood and its accelerating effect on the healing process. However, more research needs to be done on the effectiveness and usage areas of PRF application.
PRF application can be recommended according to your condition and needs after being evaluated by your dentist.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PRF and how is it obtained?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin and is a blood product rich in growth factors. This method involves a matrix derived from the patient's own blood that promotes cellular regeneration. After the blood sample is taken, it is processed in a special centrifuge. As a result of this process, the blood is separated into different layers; cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are separated and a fibrin matrix is formed. This matrix is used to accelerate healing at the site of injury.
In which areas is PRF used?
PRF method is generally used in many fields such as oral and dental health, surgical branches and dermatology. In dentistry, it can be used to accelerate wound healing after tooth extraction, support implant applications and periodontal (gum) treatments. In surgical interventions, it is preferred to accelerate the healing process of tissues and optimise treatment results. It is also widely used in aesthetic dermatology applications such as skin rejuvenation and wound healing.
What are the advantages of PRF application?
PRF has several advantages. Firstly, since it is derived from the patient's own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is low. In addition, since it is rich in growth factors and cellular components, it is an effective method to accelerate tissue healing and promote regeneration. It can shorten the recovery time after surgery and reduce complications such as pain and swelling. It can also be used to replace blood lost during surgical procedures, thus reducing the need for blood transfusion.
