Advanced-Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF)

Dr. Hui is proud to use the most advanced methods to improve healing times and achieve beautiful results for your smile. A-PRF is used for oral surgery and bone graft procedures in preparation for implants. By obtaining a small sample of the patient’s blood, growth factors, and stem cells can be extracted and used to accelerate healing times and reduce swelling and pain. A-PRF obtains growth factors and immediately places them directly into the surgical site. This helps to promote bone, blood vessels, soft tissue, collagen, and fibroblast growth. The presence of these proteins plays a special role in the healing process by increasing bone stimulation. It has been scientifically proven that A-PRF rejuvenates the site so that patients are not prone to infections or implant failure.

Injected-Platelet Rich Fibrin (I-PRF)

I-PRF is sometimes used in conjunction with A-PRF when needed. A small amount of blood is obtained so we can access the concentration levels of white blood cells and stem cells. This concentrate is then injected into the bone graft particles to coagulate and solidify the particles, known as i-bone. The particles are then inserted in the surgical site to improve the results of bone grafts.

Advantages of platelet concentrates:

• Accelerated healing

• Low infection risk

• Increase bone stimulation
