A-PRF / Plasma-Membrane-Techniqe

Die A-PRF-Technik ergänzt das biologische Behandlungskonzept der Praxis. Ziel ist es, bei geeigneten Eingriffen die natürlichen Regenerationsprozesse des Gewebes mit körpereigenen Bestandteilen zu unterstützen.

A-PRF stands for “Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin” and refers to a procedure in which components of your own blood are processed. After collection, the blood is centrifuged using a special method, resulting in the formation of a fibrin-rich membrane containing the body’s own growth factors.

This membrane is then precisely applied to the treatment area. It serves to support natural regenerative processes and is primarily used in the context of surgical procedures.

The A-PRF membrane contains the body’s own components that are involved in tissue regeneration. These include, among other things, platelets and growth factors, which play a role in the healing process.

After being placed in the treated area, the membrane is slowly broken down, continuously releasing these factors in the process. It thus provides local support to the natural healing process without replacing it.

Blood is drawn in a manner similar to a standard blood draw and is generally considered to be minimally invasive.

Since the A-PRF technique is performed as part of a procedure that is already scheduled, the procedure itself usually does not cause any additional discomfort. The treatment is designed to be as comfortable as possible for you.

The A-PRF technique is generally not covered under standard benefits by public health insurance plans and is therefore usually billed as an individual supplemental service.

Whether reimbursement is possible depends on your insurance provider and your plan. Private insurance or supplemental insurance may cover part or all of the costs, depending on your policy.

We’ll be happy to provide you with a transparent breakdown of the costs involved before treatment begins.

The A-PRF technique may be appropriate when a surgical procedure in the oral cavity is planned, such as for dental implants, tooth extractions, or periodontal treatments.

Whether it is used depends on the individual situation, such as the condition of the tissue and the extent of the procedure. It is not used as a standard practice, but rather selectively when it effectively complements the treatment plan.

We will discuss with you whether its use is appropriate in your case and how it will be integrated into your treatment.

The A-PRF technique generally does not require any special preparation. The only important thing is that we are informed about your health status and any medications you may be taking.

Depending on the procedure, you will receive clear instructions in advance on what to keep in mind. The procedure itself is integrated directly into the treatment plan and does not require an additional appointment.

We will explain the process to you beforehand so that you are well prepared.
