Advantages of PRF over PRP
1. | The procedure is easy and less time-consuming |
2. | The procedure is painless as no need to inject the sample |
3. | Lack of biochemical modification as no anticoagulants are needed |
4. | The method preparation and application is simple and is cost- effective process |
5. | Long‑term effect––growth factors are released slowly over a period of 7 or more days |
6. | Able to support cytokines enmeshment and cellular migration |
7. | Increased incorporation of the circulating cytokines in the fibrin meshes (intrinsic cytokines) |
8. | It supports and accelerates the healing process due to slow polymerization |
9. | Helps in hemostasis |
10. | Three‑dimensional structure gives elasticity and flexibility to PRF membrane |
