PRF Platelet-Rich Fibrin – Natural Regeneration

PRF Therapy in Freienstein — Natural Regeneration with Platelet-Rich Fibrin

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a concentrate derived from your own blood that is exceptionally rich in growth factors, platelets, stem cells and immune cells. At our biological dental practice in Freienstein, we routinely use PRF Platelet-Rich Fibrin during surgical procedures to accelerate wound healing, reduce post-operative swelling and minimise the risk of infection — all without any synthetic additives or foreign substances. Because the material is produced entirely from your own body, it represents one of the most natural and biocompatible methods of supporting tissue regeneration available in modern dentistry.

How PRF Platelet-Rich Fibrin Works

The procedure is straightforward and takes only a few minutes. A small quantity of blood is drawn from your arm, identical to a routine blood test. The sample is then placed in a centrifuge, which separates the blood into its components. The resulting PRF concentrate — a fibrin membrane or gel rich in growth factors — is applied directly to the surgical site. These growth factors actively stimulate cell proliferation, blood vessel formation and tissue repair, significantly shortening healing times and reducing the likelihood of post-operative complications such as dry socket or wound infection.

The PRF membrane also acts as a natural scaffold, supporting new bone and soft tissue growth in areas where tissue has been lost or surgically altered. This makes it particularly valuable in more complex procedures where the body needs additional biological support to achieve optimal results.

When Do We Use PRF in Our Freienstein Practice?

PRF therapy is integrated into a wide range of surgical treatments at our practice. We routinely apply PRF in the following situations:

  • Ceramic implant placement — PRF promotes faster osseointegration and reduces the risk of peri-implant inflammation. We use it routinely during ceramic implant placement to optimise healing outcomes.
  • Wisdom tooth removal — Applying PRF to the socket after extraction accelerates tissue closure and significantly lowers the risk of alveolar osteitis (dry socket).
  • Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures — PRF is mixed with bone graft material to improve structural stability and stimulate new bone formation.
  • Gum grafting — PRF supports the integration of transplanted gum tissue. Learn more about our gum grafting procedures and how PRF enhances their success.
  • Amalgam removal — Following safe amalgam removal according to the SMART protocol, PRF helps the surrounding tissue recover rapidly and supports detoxification processes.
  • FDOK / NICO surgery — After surgical debridement of silent jawbone inflammations, PRF is applied to promote tissue regeneration. We use it as standard practice during FDOK/NICO surgery to support complete biological healing.

Since the concentrate is derived exclusively from your own blood, there is zero risk of rejection, allergic reaction or immune response. No additives, anticoagulants or chemical agents are used at any stage of the process.

Why Biological Dentistry Embraces PRF

Biological dentistry prioritises treatment approaches that work with the body rather than against it. PRF is a prime example of this philosophy: instead of relying on synthetic wound-healing agents or pharmaceutical growth factors, we harness the regenerative potential already present in your own blood. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients who prefer to avoid foreign materials, those with sensitivities or immune conditions, and anyone seeking a more holistic path to dental health. We combine PRF with other biological treatment strategies — such as ozone therapy for natural disinfection — to create a comprehensive, body-compatible healing environment.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRF Therapy

Is PRF safe?

Absolutely. PRF is produced from your own blood with no additives, chemicals or foreign materials. It is one of the most natural forms of wound healing support available in dentistry today. Because it is autologous — meaning it comes entirely from your own body — there is no risk of allergic reaction, immune rejection or transmission of any foreign substance.

Does the blood draw hurt?

The blood draw is identical to a routine venous blood sample and takes only a few seconds. Most patients find it entirely comfortable. The PRF concentrate is then prepared chairside and applied immediately during the surgical procedure.

How much does PRF therapy cost?

PRF is typically offered as part of the overall treatment package for surgical procedures such as implant placement, wisdom tooth removal or bone grafting. Our team will provide you with a transparent cost overview during your personal consultation. We believe in clear communication with no hidden fees.

Can PRF be combined with other biological treatments?

Yes — PRF works exceptionally well alongside other biological therapies we offer, including ozone therapy for antibacterial disinfection and neural therapy for biological pain regulation. Our team designs treatment plans that combine the most effective and body-compatible methods for each individual patient.
