A-PRF is a 3-D autogenous combination of Platelet Rich Fibrin derived from the patient’s blood. Dr. Joseph Choukroun in France is the pioneer in the field of platelet rich fibrin.
A simplified chairside procedure results in the production of a thin, compressed layer of platelet rich fibrin that is strong, pliable and suitable for suturing. This natural fibrin network is rich in platelets, growth factors and cytokines that are derived from the blood platelets and leukocytes. The presence of these proteins have been reported to produce rapid healing, especially during the critical first seven days after placement. This network promotes more efficient cell migration and proliferation without chemical or bovine thrombin additives.
Clinically, Platelet Rich Fibrin displays excellent working properties. This biomaterial is resilient, strong and pliable, making it easy to manipulate. It can be cut to size, and is supple enough to adapt to many anatomical areas. It is adhesive in nature and very receptive to suturing.
Dr. Zidile has incorporated this technology for many treatment protocols, including Sinus lifts, Extractions, Bone grafting, and more.
