What is PRGF® ENDORET®?

Implantology

Since 2015, Dental Bival in Zagreb has been using PRGF® ENDORET® (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors | Endogenous Regenerative Technology) in a variety of dental and aesthetic treatments. This advanced method supports faster healing, reduces swelling and pain, and improves both the predictability and longevity of procedures.

PRGF®-Endoret® is a therapy that uses the patient’s own blood to isolate growth factors—proteins that stimulate the healing of wounds, bone, and gum tissue.
 It’s completely natural—no medication, no foreign substances.

Applications at Dental Bival

At Dental Bival, PRGF® ENDORET® is used across several key areas:

Dental Implantology:
PRGF helps implants integrate more quickly with the bone, reducing the risk of infections and complications.

Oral Surgery:
Used in procedures such as tooth extractions, apicoectomies, sinus lifts, and bone grafts to promote faster healing and reduce swelling.

Aesthetic Dentistry:
Ideal for facial and neck skin rejuvenation, restoring a youthful glow.

Surgical Treatment of Edentulous Jaws:
PRGF is used alongside BTI implants and bridge planning for patients without teeth, ensuring minimal risk and optimal healing.
In these cases, six implants are typically placed per jaw, allowing for fixed bridges.

What Are the Advantages of PRGF® Therapy?

PRGF® therapy offers numerous benefits in dental medicine. Since it uses your own blood, it’s 100% natural and carries no risk of rejection or allergic reaction.
 Recovery is faster—pain, swelling, and inflammation are significantly reduced. It also promotes faster tissue regeneration and lowers the risk of infection.
 Over the long term, it supports the development of healthy new tissue, contributing to longer-lasting results.
 This method is well-documented, safe, and has minimal side effects.

How Is PRGF® Plasma Collected?

The process is simple and safe:

  1. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient’s vein.
  2. The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which separates platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood.
  3. The resulting PRGF plasma is then applied or injected into the area that needs healing.

At Dental Bival, we combine advanced PRGF® ENDORET® therapy with short dental implants to offer a highly effective, minimally invasive solution for tooth restoration.

FAQ

Can PRGF be combined with other treatments?
Yes, in dentistry it is commonly combined with implant and surgical procedures to improve outcomes.

How long does the treatment take?
Anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the procedure.

How long is recovery after a PRGF treatment?
Healing is significantly faster than with traditional methods. Most patients return to normal activities the same day or the next, especially after aesthetic treatments.

Is PRGF suitable for everyone?
Yes, since it uses the patient’s own blood. However, individuals with blood clotting disorders, active infections, or serious autoimmune conditions should consult with a dentist beforehand.

How many PRGF treatments are needed after BTI implant placement?
In most cases, one PRGF session during implant placement is sufficient for faster recovery. For more complex procedures, such as bone regeneration, additional sessions may be needed.
