Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF)
Our practice is the first periodontal and dental implant surgery practice in Jacksonville to offer the latest technology in bone and tissue regeneration: Plasma Rich in Growth Factors or PRGF Endoret.
What does the PRGF- Endoret technique involve?
When we suffer any injury, the human body releases proteins (cellular signals) to stimulate the process of repairing that injury.
The PRGF Endoret technique isolates from the blood plasma these proteins which are responsible for wound healing and tissue regeneration. Once a therapeutic dose is applied to the treatment area, the repair process is enhanced and accelerated.
To carry out this process, it is necessary to draw a small amount of blood from the patient, from which the Plasma Rich in Growth Factors is obtained through a centrifuge spinning process. The plasma is the placed where healing or regeneration of tissue and bone is needed.
How can PRGF Endoret contribute to your treatment?
Recovery and the healing process speed up so the risk of infection or any other post-surgical complications is lessened. Using PRGF Endoret will guarantee a noticeable improvement, absence of pain and quicker healing.
All in all, PRGF Endoret optimizes recovery for our patients following periodontal or implant surgery.
Currently, this technique is being used with remarkable results in different fields of medicine such as oral and maxillofacial surgery, traumatology, burns, dermatology , opthamology, plastic surgery and general surgery.
