You have the right to be informed about your condition and the recommended treatment plan to be

to properly inform you so that you may give or withhold your consent.
Plasma Rich Growth Factors
The patient’s blood is drawn from the patient like any blood test. In order to process PRGF, there will
be a 20-40 ml blood-draw using an aseptic technique. Dr. Safari will separate the plasma from your
blood through a centrifuge spinning process. The blood will be processed, activated, and added to the
surgical procedure. To activate PRGF, the blood is mixed with calcium chloride. To explain the benefits
in further detail, Plasma is a component of your blood that contains special “growth factors,” or
proteins, that help your blood to clot. It also contains proteins that support cell growth. Your isolated
concentrated plasma will then be placed directly into the healing site. The use of the plasma of a
concentration of a patient's own platelets will help accelerate the healing and growth using each
individual patient's own healing system to promote improvement and regeneration in the area. The
idea is that injecting PRP into damaged tissues will stimulate your body to grow new, healthy cells and
promote healing and growth.
Summary of Benefits: Regeneration in post-extraction sites. Regeneration of bone around implants
improved the Osseo-integration of implants. Faster wound healing, as well as pain reduction. Please,
keep in mind that this procedure can be done without PRGF, however, the success of the regeneration
of tissue is known to be greater with this process which is optimal for the healing process and success.
