1 CE Credit
In the field of implant dentistry, clinicians are always looking for ways to provide faster and more predictable hard- and soft-tissue healing. The most commonly used blood concentrate, platelet-rich fibrin, has been shown to be advantageous in a full array of implant procedures. Whether using PRF as a membrane or integrating it into the particulate bone graft, a favorable physiologic support system is achieved, which allows for an enhanced and more predictable healing process.
This article summarizes a simple, clinically proven protocol for the use of blood concentrates for bone regeneration procedures that may be easily integrated into the general dentist’s practice.
