Why is PRP Exciting?
PRP accelerates the body’s natural healing process by delivering a concentrated dose of growth factors to the wound site. These growth factors stimulate stem cells, promoting tissue regeneration and faster healing.
Introduction
Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment in West Jordan
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a specialized substance derived from your own blood. It’s rich in platelets, the cells responsible for clotting and releasing growth factors that aid in healing.
How Does PRP Work
- PRP contains growth factors like platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF), and insulin-like growth factor (ILGF) which aid in tissue repair.
- A subfamily of TGF, called bone morphogenic protein (BMP), induces new bone formation, beneficial for procedures like dental implant placement.
What can PRP help
- Bone grafting for dental implants, including various procedures like sinus lifts and ridge augmentations.
- Repairing bone defects from tooth removal or cyst removal.
- Closing fistulas between the sinus cavity and mouth.
What Are the Advantages of PRP
- Convenience: PRP can be produced in-office during outpatient procedures, such as dental implant placement.
- Faster Healing: PRP accelerates tissue synthesis, leading to quicker tissue regeneration.
- Cost-effectiveness: PRP harvesting is done in-office with minimal blood (55 cc), saving on hospital expenses.
- Ease of Use: PRP improves the application of bone substitute materials, making them more manageable.
