PRF in Dentistry: Harnessing Your Body’s Healing Power

A Natural Approach to Healing

In holistic dentistry, the best medicine often comes from the body itself. Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is one of the most innovative tools we have for promoting natural healing. Derived from a patient’s own blood, PRF provides a concentrated source of growth factors and immune cells that accelerate tissue repair.

At Amore Dentistry, we use PRF in surgical procedures such as extractions, implants, and cavitation surgeries to ensure patients heal faster, safer, and with less discomfort.

What Is PRF?

PRF is made by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, then spinning it in a centrifuge at specific settings. This separates out a fibrin matrix rich in platelets, leukocytes, and growth factors. Unlike synthetic materials, PRF is 100% natural, biocompatible, and free of additives.

Benefits of PRF in Dentistry

• Accelerated Healing: PRF releases growth factors over time, stimulating bone and soft tissue regeneration (Choukroun et al., 2006).

• Reduced Pain & Swelling: Studies show PRF decreases post-surgical discomfort.

• Lower Risk of Infection: White blood cells in PRF provide antibacterial effects.

• Improved Bone Integration: PRF enhances bone grafting and implant stability (Miron et al., 2017).

• Holistic & Safe: No chemicals, no additives—just your body’s own healing power.

Applications of PRF in Dentistry

• Wisdom Tooth Extractions: Minimizes dry socket risk and speeds recovery.

• Implant Placement: Improves integration and gum healing around ceramic implants.

• Bone Grafting: Boosts regeneration in deficient areas.

• Cavitation Surgery: Fills surgical sites with healing factors for faster closure.

PRF vs. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

While both PRF and PRP are platelet concentrates, PRF is considered more advanced. Unlike PRP, PRF forms a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more slowly and effectively, providing sustained healing. It also doesn’t require anticoagulants or additives, making it more holistic and biologically compatible (Ghanaati et al., 2014).

Healing from Within

PRF is revolutionizing biologic dentistry by making recovery more predictable and natural. By using your own blood to accelerate healing, we minimize complications and maximize outcomes.

At Amore Dentistry, we believe the safest, most effective healing comes from within. With PRF, you can experience the future of holistic dentistry—today.
