PRF/IPRF Therapy

What is PRF/IPRF Therapy?

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF/IPRF) Therapy is an innovative treatment that utilizes your own blood to promote healing. During the PRF/IPRF therapy process, plasma and platelets are separated from your blood and applied or injected into the surgical site. This accelerates healing and enhances overall oral health.


PRF is a remarkable treatment derived from your blood, promoting the growth of bone and soft tissues. Its biocompatibility ensures it won't cause harm to your body or the surgical area. After spinning a blood sample in a centrifuge, the resulting product is applied to the surgical site, effectively facilitating healing and encouraging the growth of bone and soft tissues.

After collecting your blood sample, we employ a centrifuge device to separate essential components from the blood, including:

  • Platelets: Play a crucial role in blood clot formation
  • Fibrin: A protein involved in clotting
  • White blood cells: Part of your body's immune response
  • Bone morphogenic proteins and other growth factors
  • PRF employs the plasma/platelet membrane for insertion during surgical procedures. On the other hand, IPRF represents an enhanced version of PRF that is injectable.
  • Injectable PRF (IPRF) can be utilized both surgically and as injections into specific local sites to reduce pain, swelling, infection, and expedite recovery in our regenerative dentistry procedures.

How does PRF/IPRF Therapy work?

PRF/IPRF Therapy uses the natural power of your blood plasma to enhance your body's natural healing capabilities and stimulate tissue and bone regeneration. Biocompatible and devoid of synthetics, PRF/IPRF Therapy contains a high concentration of platelets that become activated upon contact with damaged tissue. These platelets release growth factors and cytokines, accelerating the healing and regenerative process.


The PRF/IPRF membrane acts as a scaffold, protecting the wound and delivering essential growth factors directly to the injury site. Consequently, the PRF/IPRF Therapy procedure is minimally invasive, resulting in minimal to no pain for the patient.

Benefits of PRF/IPRF Therapy

The application of Platelet Rich Fibrin in dentistry has demonstrated several advantages. PRF/IPRF Therapy is highly effective in promoting healing for various oral health issues. When PRF is applied to a wound, it can:
  • Encourage new blood vessel growth.
  • Improve overall tissue health.
  • Accelerate healing time for oral health issues.
  • Reduce inflammation.
  • Alleviate pain and swelling after treatment.
  • Increase collagen production, aiding in tissue regeneration.

How is PRF/IPRF Therapy Administered?

PRF/IPRF Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure performed at our office.


We collect a small blood sample, and using a centrifuge device, we separate the platelets and other vital components from the blood.


These components are then injected back into the site of the injury.

Who Can Benefit from PRF/IPRF?

PRF/IPRF Therapy is beneficial for everyone. PRF effectively treats various oral health issues and promotes healing post-treatment, including:

  • Gum recession


  • Tooth extraction
  • Dental implants
  • Bone grafting
  • Jawbone cavitations
