After tooth loss, there is typically a progressive resorption (loss) of the jawbone. This often necessitates combining fixed dental prostheses with implants (crowns/bridges) along with bone reconstruction. Advanced techniques and materials are available today for this purpose, aiming to optimize the healing processes and minimize treatment duration.
In our competence center, we offer advanced autologous blood, or L-PRF therapy. For this, we extract a small amount of venous blood just before the surgical procedure and, using a centrifuge, obtain leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) from it. L-PRF, derived from your own blood, promotes wound healing and bone growth with the power of your body's cells.
Faster wound healing typically means less swelling, reduced postoperative pain, and a quicker healing process for you as a patient.
What's unique about this procedure: L-PRF therapy uses only your own blood. No foreign or additional substances are involved: 100% BIOLOGY.
In our implantology competence center, we offer you the modern L-PRF procedure for optimal biological wound healing. We are happy to provide you with a consultation.
L-PRF (Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is an autologous 3D fibrin matrix obtained from the patient's own blood. Separation of blood components and concentration of the L-PRF matrix are achieved through centrifugation, resulting in a solid and/or liquid form depending on the type of tube and centrifugation protocol used. This natural fibrin network is enriched with platelets, growth factors, and cytokines released by platelets and leukocytes. Studies have shown that these proteins contribute to faster healing, especially in the critical first seven days after surgery. The matrix effectively supports cell migration and proliferation without the use of chemical additives or the addition of bovine thrombin. (Source: Camlog)
With simple measures that run parallel to the treatment, a thin, compressed fibrin matrix can be generated, which is stable and elastic and can even be sutured. It can be used either alone or in combination with collagen-based biomaterials and bone substitute materials. Clinically, the L-PRF matrix exhibits excellent handling properties. Resistance, stability, and elasticity make manipulation easy. The matrix can be cut into shape and is flexible enough to adapt to surfaces. It is naturally adhesive and can be sutured effectively. Furthermore, L-PRF remains stable at room temperature for several hours, providing ample time for processing. (Source: Camlog)
