PRF in modern dentistry: An innovative approach to oro-dental tissue regeneration

Abstract

In this study we will follow the use of PRF membranes in modern dentistry and implantology. We will explore the role, importance and specific techniques of using PRF membranes in various implant surgery procedures. This work was based on a study of 30 patients of both sexes who underwent treatment using PRF membranes for the first time. Prior to this, patients were informed about treatment plam and intervention process. The first objective analyzed was the presence of post-operative pain. On the first day after the intervention, more then 60% of patients did not experience pain, and of those who experienced pain, 20% experienced mild pain and only 10% of patients experienced moderate pain. No patient described the pain as intense. The second day after the intervention 93% of patients had no pain at all, and 7% had mild pain. On the third day after the intervention, all patients confirmed the total absence of pain. The second objective analyzed was the presence of post-operative edema. On the first day after the intervention, 83% of patients had edema present. The second day after the intervention the number of patients with edema decreased by more than half, reaching 33%. On the third day, only 10%/ of patients still had edema. The last objective analyzed was the presence of post-operative infection, in order to prove the capacity of PRF membranes to form a protective barrier against infection. Post-operative infections were present in only 6% of the participants. The use of PRF membranes plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure of the alveolar ridge it also helps the preservation of the integrity and stability of the alveolar bone. By restoring gingival tissues, PRF membranes contribute on improving the overall oral health of the patients. The use of PRF membranes reduces the risk of peri-implantitis and peri-implant mucositis. The PRF membranes stimulate the healing process of periodontal defects, favoring the regeneration of the affected tissues. The use of PRF membranes reduces patients discomfort in the initial phase of the healing process, contributing to the absence of pain and offering a fast recovery.
