PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, which involves extracting plasma from your blood and combining it with calcium chloride and thrombin to create a natural PRP gel. Dr. Bowden can apply this gel to the surgical sites after tooth extraction, dental implant placement, or bone grafting to aid and accelerate the healing process with the body's own natural materials.
PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin, which is also extracted from the blood and uses a concentration of the patient's own blood platelets to assist in the healing process after surgical procedures. PRF facilitates:
- Reduction of swelling and inflammation
- Prevention of infection
- Tissue regeneration
- Accelerated healing
