Platelet Rich Fibrin
Feel and function like natural teeth
Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a by-product of blood (plasma) that is rich in platelets. Until now, its use has been confined to the hospital setting. This was due mainly to the cost of separating the platelets from the blood and the large amount of blood needed to produce a suitable quantity of platelets. New technology permits doctors to harvest and produce a sufficient quantity of platelets from only 20-50 cc of blood, which is drawn from the patient while they are having outpatient surgery.
