- Tool used in dental and surgical procedures to prepare Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) for grafting
Features:
- Used to prepare membranes and "sticky bone" from PRF
- Compacts the material into a suitable form for grafting
- Made of surgical stainless steel
Benefits:
-
Accelerated and enhanced healing:
- Gradual growth factor release:
- A PRF-ROLL condenses the fibrin matrix into a robust, concentrated membrane
- This structure allows for a slower, more sustained release of growth factors over a longer period, creating an optimal environment for regeneration and healing
- Scaffolding for new tissue:
- The condensed fibrin matrix acts as a scaffold, which supports and directs the migration of new cells, accelerating the formation of bone and soft tissue
- Faster dental implant integration:
- The roll-pressed PRF can be placed around dental implants to accelerate osseointegration, the fusion of bone with the implant surface
- This leads to a more stable and successful long-term outcome
-
Reduced complications and patient discomfort:
- Lower infection risk:
- The PRF membrane is rich in leukocytes (white blood cells), which have antibacterial properties
- Placing this natural, protective barrier over the surgical site reduces the risk of post-operative infections
- Protection against dry socket:
- After a tooth extraction, a PRF membrane can be placed into the socket
- This protects the vulnerable area from bacteria, promotes healing, and dramatically lowers the risk of a painful dry socket
- Minimized swelling and pain:
- The anti-inflammatory properties of PRF help to reduce post-operative inflammation, swelling, and discomfort
- This can minimize the patient's reliance on pain medication during recovery
- Reduced risk of allergic reaction:
- Since PRF is derived entirely from the patient's own blood, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or disease transmission
- Improved surgical outcomes:
- Enhanced bone graft stability:
- When combined with bone graft materials, rolled PRF acts as a "biological cement" to hold the pieces together
- This improves the graft's stability and increases the success rate of the bone regeneration procedure
- Optimized graft integration:
- The rich concentration of growth factors from the PRF membrane encourages new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) within the graft, ensuring it "takes" more effectively
- Improved soft tissue healing:
- For procedures involving gum grafts or periodontal surgery, PRF helps in the regeneration of healthy gum tissue, improving both functional and aesthetic results
- Consistent material:
- Rolling PRF with an instrument standardizes the final product, ensuring a predictable and uniform membrane for placement
