Treatment Overview
Platelet-Rich Fibrin Therapy in Korea is an advanced biologic procedure that enhances gum and bone regeneration using your body’s natural growth factors. PRF is derived from a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin — the key elements responsible for tissue healing and regeneration.
Korean periodontists use PRF Therapy as a standalone regenerative treatment or in combination with gum grafting, flap surgery, bone grafting, and laser periodontal therapy to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the regrowth of lost gum and bone tissue.
The result is faster recovery, stronger gum attachment, and enhanced tissue regeneration — achieved naturally and safely, without synthetic materials.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Stimulate natural gum and bone regeneration.
- Enhance healing after gum grafts or periodontal surgery.
- Promote reattachment of gums to tooth roots.
- Reduce inflammation, swelling, and post-surgical discomfort.
- Improve long-term stability and aesthetics of gum treatments.
Benefits
- Completely Natural: Made from your own blood — no synthetic materials or chemicals.
- Accelerated Healing: Delivers concentrated growth factors directly to the surgical site.
- Reduced Inflammation: White blood cells within PRF minimize swelling and infection.
- Improved Gum Regeneration: Boosts tissue attachment and collagen formation.
- Pain-Free Integration: Enhances comfort and shortens downtime.
- Biologic Compatibility: 100% safe, with no risk of allergic reactions.
Ideal Candidates
PRF Therapy in Korea is ideal for:
- Patients with receding gums undergoing grafting or flap surgery.
- Individuals recovering from periodontal surgery or tooth extractions.
- Those with bone loss requiring regenerative support.
- Patients seeking natural, biologically enhanced healing.
- Individuals with sensitivity or thin gum tissue who want improved recovery.
Possible Risks & Complications
PRF is one of the safest biologic therapies available since it’s derived from the patient’s own blood.
Temporary, mild effects may include:
- Slight swelling or tenderness for 1–2 days.
- Mild gum tightness during early healing.
- Minor bruising at the blood draw site.
Korean clinics minimize even these minor effects through AI-calibrated centrifugation, sterile collection environments, and laser-assisted PRF activation, ensuring comfort and safety.
Techniques & Technology Used
Core Techniques
- Autologous PRF Preparation: Blood is centrifuged to isolate fibrin-rich plasma.
- PRF Membrane Application: Applied to surgical or graft sites for natural regeneration.
- PRF Injectable Form: Used to enhance tissue thickness and collagen growth.
- Laser Biostimulation: Activates PRF growth factors for faster healing.
- AI Regeneration Mapping: Digitally monitors tissue recovery and healing response.
- Combination Protocols: Used with bone grafts, gum grafts, or flap surgery for enhanced outcomes.
These biologic techniques enable seamless tissue integration and natural regeneration.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Digital Assessment: AI imaging evaluates gum and bone condition.
- Blood Collection: A small blood sample is drawn (similar to routine lab tests).
- Centrifugation: Blood is processed to extract PRF concentrate.
- PRF Preparation: Fibrin membranes or injectable PRF are prepared for use.
- Application: PRF placed on gums, root surfaces, or bone graft sites.
- Laser Activation: Laser energy stimulates cell regeneration and growth factor release.
- Digital Healing Monitoring: AI scans track tissue response and healing rate.
Recovery & Aftercare
Aftercare Guidelines
- Avoid brushing or flossing treated areas for 5–7 days.
- Rinse gently with prescribed antiseptic or saline solution.
- Eat soft, cool foods; avoid spicy or crunchy textures.
- Do not smoke or consume alcohol during the recovery phase.
- Follow scheduled checkups for healing analysis and digital scans.
Recovery Timeline
- 1–3 Days: Mild swelling or tenderness subsides.
- 1–2 Weeks: Enhanced tissue regeneration and gum reattachment begin.
- 4–6 Weeks: Full tissue healing and natural color restoration.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Healthier, thicker gum tissue and improved healing speed.
- Reduced inflammation and post-surgery discomfort.
- Accelerated regeneration of bone and soft tissue.
- Improved stability and appearance of treated areas.
Longevity
PRF effects are long-lasting, with benefits continuing for months after application as growth factors release gradually.
When combined with other periodontal therapies, Korean clinics report success rates exceeding 98% in gum and bone regeneration.
Routine cleanings and biologic maintenance every 6–12 months are recommended.
