Growth Factors - Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) in Soft Tissue Surgery: From Theory to Clinical Practice

Description:
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) belongs to a new generation of platelet concentrates, with simplified processing and without biochemical blood manipulation. One of the benefits of the platelet gel membrane is the enhancement of advanced soft tissue surgical procedures. Especially in the treatment of multiples recession defects. The use of PRF highlights an accelerated tissue cicatrization due to the development of effective neovascularization, accelerated wound closing with fast cicatricial tissue remodeling, and nearly total absence of infectious events.

hello dr Achille i see u did not suture the connective tissue.is the prf alone sufficient to hold the graft in position

Dear Dr Marco, could you please give me that article(Classification of platelet concentrates: from pure platelet-rich plasma (P-PRP) to leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF)) you advise us to understand more on PRF

Mark Neale - (9/30/2012 9:54 PM)

Thank you for your presentation. Have you tried using only the PRF membrane without the CT graft for re-establishing tissue coverage with recession issues. Secondly, do you have to have complete tissue apposition closure with a PRF membrane cover under your tissue flap or will you have a flap dehiscence like you would with using a allograft membrane?

i think that Dr CHOUKROUN and Dr Del Corso have responded to all the questions ! one thing that i would like to add is for you to know that the PRF procedure is the only one possible in a dental office or small clinic. the PRP technique is not ergonomic at all ( double centrifugation, manipulation of blood, cost ++, etc ) the PRF technique is actually the best and the easiest. One compact small machine, a few dry tubes and that is all you need to have minimum 8 membranes in less than 15 mins ! and the cost is less than 5 dollars. try it out and you will see by yourself goodluck

Joseph Choukroun - (3/25/2012 3:01 PM)

Very nice presentation, Achille ! Main avantages of PRF Platelet Rich Fibrin compared to PRP or PRGF 1.Quality of fibrin: natural clotting (trimolecular junctions) 2.Slow release of growth factors during several days: why? -the half-life of a growth factor is around 3 mn, WISSINK MJ et al. J Control Release 2000 -stable gradient of growth factors and specially the VEGF is needed for getting best stimulation of neoangiogenesis.SHAMLOO et al. Tissue Engineering part A. 2011 However take care of the material! most machines heats the blood too, more than 42°.. with alteration of the proteins & cytokins.. only the PC02 procures a very stable temperature during the spin.

Suturing Principles - Material Selection
The primary objective of dental suturing is to position and secure surgical flaps to promote optimal healing The evolution of su turing materials has enabled decreased potential of postoperative infection and increased successful closure with minimal difficulty. Accurate flap opposition contributes to patient comfort and hemostas is, reduces the wound to be repaired, and prevents unnecessary bone destruction.

Elements and Utilization of Suturing Needles

Elements and Utilization of Suturing Needles
The primary components of every suturing needle include the attachment end, body, and point. Traditional complications caused by threading have been eliminated by the advent of needles that are permanently attached to the suturing material. The suturing procedure is further simplified by the attached and press-fitted end of the needle (swaged) that enables the clinician to draw it through the tissue with less trauma.
