BTI – PRGF Endoret
plasma rich in growth factors technology
PRGF – ENDORET® is a plasma rich in platelets (PRP) technology for obtaining autologous proteins from the patient’s own blood.
Using a concrete protocol and a system of specific components, PRGF – ENDORET® provides for the elaboration of up to 4 therapeutic formulations that can be used in several clinical applications.
Post-extraction sockets
The use of plasma in post-extraction sockets reduces primary effects such as bleeding, swelling or dry alveolitis and prevents the loss of buccal or lingual walls of the socket. Systematic reviews have also shown greater epithelisation and bone density rates in patients treated with autologous plasma like Endoret® (PRGF®).
The most significant biological effects of plasma rich in growth factors are:
- Promoting angiogenesis (A)
- Stimulating cell migration (B)
- Increasing cell proliferation (B)
- Reduces inflammation and pain in patients due to the absence of leukocytes in the biochemical composition of Endoret
- Stimulating autocrine and paracrine secretion of growth factors (B)
THE PERFECT DUO: BTI + Endoret Implants
Irrigating the implant bed with liquid plasma forms, in a matter of minutes, a fibrin membrane on top of the surface of the UnicCa® implant, subsequently accelerating the osseointegration process.
Bone defects
Mixing plasma with particulate autologous bone (biological drilling) allows osteogenic grafts that are easy to transport and handle to be created, to reconstruct atrophic maxillae or for use in fenestrations. Endoret can also be used as a transporter of the heterologous graft to facilitate its insertion and avoid dispersion through the problem area.
Periodontal surgery
Soft tissue grafts – due to their autologous and efficient nature – are preferred to synthetic ones in periodontal surgery. However, the open wound at the donor site causes post-operative morbidity in patients. The use of plasma in these surgeries would:
- Improve and accelerate healing at the donor site
- Improve the biological properties of the graft
- Reduce post-operative swelling and pain
