Stomatology
PRP therapy is used in stomatology as a supportive measure within dental and oral surgical treatments. The aim is to promote natural healing and regeneration processes in soft and hard tissues.
PRP is obtained from the patient’s own blood and contains concentrated endogenous growth factors. These can support local regenerative processes, especially in the areas of tissue repair, soft tissue healing, and bone regeneration. Due to its autologous origin, PRP is generally well tolerated and has a very low risk of immunological reactions.
Indications
PRP is used as a supplement for:
- Periodontal diseases (gingivitis, periodontitis) within therapy
- Alveolitis
- Peri-implant inflammation (e.g., peri-implantitis) as an adjuvant measure
- Tooth extractions to support wound healing
- Implantological procedures and bone augmentation (e.g., sinus lift)
- Support of healing after oral surgical interventions
- Support of natural wound and tissue regeneration
- Promotion of local blood circulation and angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation)
- Support of soft tissue and bone healing
- Accompanying improvement of postoperative healing processes
PRP is generally used as a complementary therapy to established dental measures, especially in combination with:
- Professional teeth cleaning and periodontal basic therapy
- Surgical procedures in implantology and oral surgery
- Standardized drug treatments for infections or inflammation
