Platelet-rich fibrin

PRF

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is categorized as an autologous blood concentrate, which is a blood product made using the patient’s own blood. The clinician draws a blood sample from the patient then concentrates it using a centrifuge machine to separate the different blood components into individual, concentrated layers that the clinician can use in treatment.

Although several variations of this technology exist today that prioritize different blood components, the overarching concept in dentistry is the same — they use the patient’s own blood to enhance healing after oral surgery.
