What is
Platelet-rich plasma in Dental and Oral Surgery?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a promising therapy in dental and oral surgery. It is a concentrated form of platelets obtained from a patient’s own blood, which contains growth factors and cytokines that promote tissue regeneration and wound healing. PRP has been used in various dental and oral procedures, including periodontal surgery, implant placement, bone grafting, and root canal treatment. The use of PRP in these procedures has shown to improve healing, reduce pain and swelling, and increase the success rates of implants and bone grafts. PRP is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that utilizes the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. With its many benefits, PRP is becoming an increasingly popular choice in dental and oral surgery.

Benefits of PRP with Dental and Oral Surgery?
- Accelerated healing: PRP contains growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration, which can help speed up the recovery process after dental or oral surgery.
- Reduced risk of infection: PRP contains antimicrobial peptides that can help prevent infection after surgery.
- Reduced pain and swelling: PRP has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce pain and swelling after surgery.
- Improved implant success rates: PRP can be used to prepare the implant site and promote bone growth, which can improve the success rates of dental implants.
- Better outcomes for bone grafts: PRP can also be used in bone grafts to promote bone growth and improve the success of the graft.
- Minimally invasive procedure: PRP is obtained from a patient’s own blood, making it a minimally invasive procedure with minimal risk of adverse reactions.
