We use L-PRF in various treatments within our practice. In periodontology we use L-PRF to restore the lost jaw bone in periodontal disease. We mainly use the L-PRF gel for this.
In implantology we use L-PRF membranes and plugs to treat bone defects around implants (peri-implantitis).
But especially in oral surgery we use L-PRF. We mix the gel with synthetic artificial bone to form a kind of “putty” -like mass (“sticky bone”). We apply these to the jaw bone after tooth extractions, to fill large jaw defects or to fill the sinuses.
All this in preparation for applying implants afterwards. The artificial bone is always covered with a few L-PRF membranes. This releases an extra boost of growth factors that help speed up healing.
