In this video, Marissa Ellis explains what PRF is, how it’s made, and why it’s often used to speed healing and improve outcomes in oral surgery.
PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is made from a small sample of your own blood. It contains white blood cells that help fight infection and support healing. We often mix PRF with bone graft material so your body recognizes it as natural, which speeds up bone regeneration and recovery.
PRF is commonly used in implant procedures, extractions, and bone grafts. Overall, it helps reduce the risk of infection and promotes faster, stronger healing after oral surgery.
