Silfradent OSSEOINTEGRATION & BIOMATERIALS

The presence of autologous cells like platelets and leukocytes, including CD34+ cells, have been described in the CGF.

bone density, a 40% reduction in healing times and an 80% decrease in pain levels.

The histochemical evidences indicate the role of CD34+ cells, circulating on vascular level: neovascularization and angiogenesis.

Researcher have investigated this effect also in periodontal problems. Conclusions reported that PRP technique represents a rich source of growth factors able to bring significant changes in periodontal damages and it is capable to suppress the cytokines release, limit inflammation and promote in such way the tissue regeneration.

The presence of these cells in the PRP benefit the tissue regrowth. The CGF has a good regenerative capacity and various fields of application. The use of Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) has already been for years a reality and a scientific evidence verified by the international medical community for plastic surgery in the treatment of severe burned cases.

Plastic surgeons and their patients benefit greatly from tissue regeneration through PRP, obtaining a clearly superior recovery both in tissue quality and healing speed. In Maxillary facial surgery and Implantology, the potentialities of Platelet Rich Plasma growth factors have been known for years.

Orthopaedic surgeons know well how the speed of healing processes for tendons and articular surfaces traumas improves thanks to the use of PRP platelets Growth Factors. The PRP is now used in musculoskeletal medicine with increasing frequency and effectiveness. Soft tissues injuries, such as tendinopathies and tendinitis, have been treated with PRP since the early ‘90s. The PRP has also been used for the treatment of muscle fibrosis, ligament distortions, joint capsular laxity and in intra-articular injuries like arthritis, arthrofibrosis, injuries of the articular cartilage, meniscus injuries, chronic synovitis or joints inflammation. Retrospective assessment in patients treated with a single injection of PRP for chronic tendinopathy, revealed that 78% had a clear clinical improvement within 6 months, avoiding surgical intervention.

Its application helps and stimulates the bone regeneration both in managing endosseous implants and in the healing of difficult fractures. This is a well-documented and effective procedure. Already in 1970, using PRP it was proven a 20% increase in the trabecular

“Excellent results were found also in the healing of skin sores in diabetic subjects.” In short, a valid technique that optimizes the healing processes of every tissue where it is applied. With the CGF technique instead, all that is necessary for our regeneration is autologous therefore already within us and we make it work for us.
