Platelet-Rich Fibrin

Platelet-Rich Fibrin

in Pasadena, TX

Platelet-rich fibrin is a biological material that is derived from blood. Platelet-rich fibrin is rich in platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, and other growth factors. It’s used during oral surgery, such as extractions and dental implant surgery, to prevent infection and promote quick healing.


Here at Marconi Dental Aesthetics, we’re always looking into ways of enhancing our patient experience and safeguarding your oral well-being. That’s why we have adopted the use of platelet-rich fibrin during our surgical procedures.


The PRF process is straightforward and painless. During your appointment, our dentist in Pasadena, TX, will ensure you’re comfortable and relaxed before drawing your blood. Typically, you require one vial of blood for every surgical site. Should you have any questions regarding PRF during your visit, Dr. Rubi Marconi will be happy to answer all of them.


Benefits of Platelet-Rich Fibrin

Platelet-rich fibrin in Pasadena, TX, offers numerous advantages to patients who have undergone oral surgical procedures, including:


  • Faster healing after wisdom tooth extraction and dental implant surgery
  • Less pain after oral surgery
  • Minimal swelling
  • Enhanced osseointegration or fusion of implants to jawbone
  • Improved bone strength
  • Minimizes chances of dry socket and bone infection after tooth extractions
  • Enhanced healing of surgical sites after bone grafting


What to Expect

Our dentist near you will begin by evaluating your oral health to determine the best-suited treatment plan. If you require oral surgery, our dentist incorporates platelet-rich fibrin in the treatment process to facilitate faster healing.


Our dentist draws your blood immediately before your procedure. Next, the vial of blood is placed in a centrifuge and spun at a rate of 2700RPM for thirteen minutes. This process separates the drawn blood into three layers, one of which is the platelet-rich fibrin layer.


The platelet-rich fibrin is placed at the surgical site once the surgery is complete. The PRF protects the surgical site against microbes and other contaminants, thus preventing bone pathology and accelerating healing. Placement of platelet-rich fibrin increases the chances of successful treatment, and in the case of dental implant surgery, it lowers the chances of dental implant failure.
