Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Platelet-Rich Fibrin, known as PRF, is a regenerative biomaterial which utilizes healing components from your own blood. It contains a concentrated matrix of platelets, white blood cells and fibrin which help in accelerating tissue repair, reducing inflammation and therefore pain, and enhancing healing.
With a simple blood draw, PRF can be created and utilized in many procedures including extractions, bone grafts, gum tissue management, and implant placement. Dr. Groom has first hand seen the increase in success of treatment and the decrease in post-op symptoms for the patient. It’s definitely worth considering and talking to Dr. Groom about.
