A-PRF (Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin) is a method for creating an autologous wound dressing following dental surgeries. It serves to promote the regeneration and protection of the wound.
Just before the surgery, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, which is then centrifuged. This process takes place in a specialized centrifuge, where the rotational speed and duration are precisely adjusted. Through this process, the blood is separated into its components, with the heavy red blood cells pushed outward. The yellowish portion of the blood, which has a high concentration of platelets (for clotting) and white blood cells (for immune defense), forms the cellular base of the produced plasma membranes. Additionally, the membranes contain high concentrations of endogenous minerals, nutrients, hormones, and proteins.
