PRP – Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

Another reason we are so passionate about PRP is because it releases BMP. Bone Morphogenetic Protein. BMP is part of the TGF family and, according to research on both humans and animals, has been shown to help in bone formation. This is important because in oral surgery, we want to help induce bone formation to have you heal and get better faster. When we use PRP during oral surgery, it activates the release of BMP. When this BMP is released to the area in need of healing, where a patient had surgery, it goes to the implant site and lets the surgeon grow bone quicker and even more predictable than has ever been possible. In what scenarios would PRP be helpful? There are many clinical applications for getting PRP. It can be helpful to have PRP to help speed up healing after:

• Bone grafting for dental implants
• Repairing bone defects
• Repairing fistulas (those between the mouth and the sinus cavity)
• Cosmetic : PRP facial or ( often called the vampire facial )
