Platelet Rich Fibrin in Dental Restoration

Dr. Jeffrey Etess, an experienced dentist and endodontist, is committed to the use of advanced integrative and holistic dental care techniques Dr. Jeffrey Etess uses platelet rich fibrin to help patients heal following a dental procedure.

Platelet rich fibrin, or PRF, uses a patient's own blood to create a biologic healing agent. The process begins with the chair-side harvesting of a blood sample. It then undergoes a 10-minute chemical-free preparation process, during which a centrifuge separates the sample into three layers. The middle layer contains the platelet-rich fibrin, created as a mesh of fibrin material collects and traps platelets from the blood.

The resultant concentration is rich in platelet cytokines, a crucial cell messenger that stimulates the delivery of cells to sites with trauma or inflammation. The platelet-rich fibrin also contains growth factors, proteins, and regenerative stem cells that support growth and healing at the surgical site. At the same time, according to research, the PRF material stimulates the growth of blood vessels and enables the delivery of life-giving oxygen.

PRF accomplishes this end with no use of materials foreign to the patient's own body. Thus biodynamic as well as fully natural, it allows the body to heal itself.
