LPRF (Leukocyte Platelet Derived Fibrin) in Phoenix Your blood is filled with platelets, which are responsible for regeneration of hard and soft tissues. Platelets form clots, which stop bleeding, and growth hormones, which aid in new cell growth. However, despite your body’s ability to heal on its own, your mouth is filled with oral bacteria. These bacteria can invade vulnerable surgical sites, increasing your risk of developing an infection. At Implant and Periodontal Wellness Center of Arizona, we utilize the latest technologies to ensure a safe, comfortable, successful procedure. We can help to speed up your healing process, and reduce your risk of infection, with leukocyte-platelet derived fibrin. What Is LPRF?Leukocyte-platelet derived fibrin (LPRF) is a byproduct of your blood. After a small sample of your blood has been processed, the platelet-rich clots are collected and used to expedite your healing process. LPRF has been used in hospitals for a while now. It is a relatively new addition to the dental world, but it has many useful applications. Applications in DentistryLPRF can be used in several different ways in dentistry:
Creating LPRFLPRF is created right in the office, from the comfort of the dentist’s chair, just before your procedure begins. You don’t have to schedule a separate appointment for the blood draw. We take a small sample of blood, usually only about 2 ounces. The sample is then placed into a centrifuge, which spins the sample rapidly. As it spins, clots form, containing high concentrations of healing platelets. We spin the sample until the desired number of clots are created. Those clots are then removed from the sample and pressed to the ideal thickness. LPRF is applied directly to the surgical sites. A fibrin network forms, which traps cytokines (proteins that send signals to other cells in your body to come to the surgical site and help with healing). The result of this is an expedited healing process. Experience the Benefits of LPRFLPRF offers numerous benefits:
Even the safest, most successful oral procedures come with risk for infection. LPRF reduces that risk and helps to speed up your healing. Contact Implant and Periodontal Wellness Center of Arizona today at (480) 504-0506 to learn more! |
