Interventions
PRF
Patients blood is standardized centrifuged and split in to a red-phase (erythrocytes) and white-phase (PRF). The gained PRF is processed to a clot-fort and is inserted into the alveolus.
Natural Healing
After the tooth extraction, natural healing is aimed by allowing a blood clot formation without any further intervention.
