The progress made in genetic engineering regarding the understanding of the bone morphogenic proteins permitted the development of a technique utilizing state of the art technology capable of regenerating the jawbone faster, in larger and better quality compared to the existing methods that imply additional surgeries and demonstrate inferior
results.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
A very small quantity of blood is drawn from the patient. The blood is
then spinned/centrifuged in order to separate and concentrate the white blood cells from the whole blood. The concentrated white blood cells
(PRP) are placed on the site where bone growth is intended. (PRP - platelet rich plasma):
-
Provides the necessary hormones for bone growth
-
Reduces the healing time to half
-
Produces 30-40% more bone
-
Produces a denser
bone
Where
is PRP used?
The extraction of teeth results in bone loss. This process gets worse as time goes by.
The upper jaw in particular undergoes a rapid bone loss and as a result implants cannot be placed. This is where bone
regeneration techniques using PRP play an indispensable role in ensuring
feasibility and long-term success of treatments. Grafting of the maxillary
sinus to regenerate the bone before implant placement (Sinus lift) is the
most used example of the successful use of this unique technique. Other
uses of PRP are in plastic surgery and in orthopedic surgery.
