How is the PRF procedure performed in Turkey?

As the first step of PRF procedure in Antalya, the dentist takes 1 tube of blood from the patient. He puts this tube into a device called a centrifuge. Here, the tube rotates like the laundry in a washing machine. At the end of the process, the tube is removed from the device. There are now 3 layers in the tube. The middle layer contains PRF. After your dentist takes this PRF from the tube, it turns into a gel. Finally, dentist injects it into the injured area.

When PRF treatment is performed in the implant process, the success rate of the implant increases and patients recover faster. It is applied to the opening where tooth extraction is performed and provides rapid healing of the wound. Likewise, in other treatment methods, it repairs and regenerates the area where it is applied thanks to its active ingredients.

Is PRF procedure painful?

Patients do not feel any pain or ache in the PRF procedure. Only blood is taken from your arm, and then the injection is made; it does not cause pain to the patient, and no painful procedure is performed.
