A natural healing technique using concentrated growth factors from your own blood to accelerate recovery and improve surgical outcomes.
L-PRF (Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin)
What Is L-PRF?
L-PRF, or Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin, is a natural material made from a patient’s own blood and used in certain dental and oral surgery procedures to support healing.
It contains components such as:
• platelets
• white blood cells
• fibrin
• growth factors
These elements are associated with the body’s natural healing response.
How L-PRF May Support Healing
L-PRF may help support the healing process by creating a fibrin matrix that can hold and release natural healing components over time.
It may help with:
• soft tissue healing
• wound stabilization
• bone graft healing support
• healing after tooth extractions
• tissue repair after certain surgical procedures
The benefits can vary depending on the patient’s health and the procedure performed.
Common Uses in Oral Surgery
L-PRF may be considered in procedures such as:
• tooth extractions
• wisdom teeth removal
• bone grafting
• dental implant-related procedures
• sinus lift procedures
• treatment of certain surgical sites
Use of L-PRF depends on the clinical situation and whether it is appropriate for the patient’s treatment plan.
General Preparation
L-PRF is commonly prepared using a small blood sample from the patient.
The sample is processed to separate and concentrate the fibrin, platelets, and white blood cells into a usable form.
Because L-PRF comes from the patient’s own blood, it is considered an autologous material.
Requirements / Pre-Operative Needs
Before a procedure involving L-PRF, patients may be asked to provide:
• a complete medical and dental history
• current medications and supplements
• known allergies
• history of bleeding conditions, if any
• previous surgical or anesthesia experiences
Specific instructions may vary depending on the patient’s health, the procedure being performed, and the recommendation of Dr.Ortiz.
Patients should follow the guidance provided by our clinical team before and after treatment.
