In dentistry it is effectively used in:
- Sinus floor lift and sinus floor augmentation
- Bone grafting
- Periodontology
- Extraction sockets preservation
- Enhancement of the healing of surgical sites
A-PRF is a technology based on activating the patient’s own platelets to stimulate, regenerate and accelerate the healing of tissues. This technology encourages the body to use its own resources to heal, regenerating tissues with absolutely no side-effects.
—
A-PRF contains many growth factors and cells which support and stimulate bone and soft tissue healing.
By stimulating angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and implicitly the flow of nutritional and healing factors to the grafted area A-PRF plays an essential role in enforcing initial results.
A-PRF membrane can be mixed with the bone graft material in order to stimulate the adherence of cells on the biomaterials or on the titanium surface of dental implants.
The advantage that A-PRF holds over other techniques of concentrating the healing factors is that in obtaining the biomaterial, it only uses the patient’s own blood and nothing else.
I-PRF
I-PRF is the procedure by which we obtain a fluid concentrated rich in platelets improved with white blood cells that contains multiple growing factors and other blood cells obtained by blood centrifugation.
The I-PRF concentrated is used combined with bone regeneration materials to stimulate the nutritional cell- aggregation on the materials to stimulate materials to stimulate the nutritional cell- aggregation on to the bone graft, the collagen membranes surface and the dental implants, also to obtain new blood vessels which will nourish and support the guided bone regeneration.

PRF Centrifuge machine
Ariston Dental proudly presents a new, innovative device for the procurement of smart platelets concentrates. It offers the LSCC mode (Low Speed Centrifuge Concept).
Ariston Dental centrifuge device, stands out:
- It is a Medical Grade Device (not just a lab device)
- It utilises a free angle rotation (180⁰) which enables the horizontal position of the vacuum vials while rotation. This results in a thorough separation of the blood cells and in a perfectly visible separation interface, as well as the high concentration of blood derivatives in growth factors.
- It allows the clinicians to use vacuum vials of 10ml, 15ml and 50ml.
- It offers a wide range of settings satisfying all preferences and protocols of growth factors procurement (speed up to 5.000 rpm, RCF up to 4.400 x g, etc.).
- It offers pre-programmed settings for acquiring the most known platelet concentrates and growth factors at the push of a button (A-PRF™ Plus, A-PRF liquid, i-PRF, i-PRF Plus, etc.). It also offers free positions to set your own protocols.
- High weight (35Kg) so as to ensure stable, vibration-free rotation, important factor for the quality of the produced concentrates, according to the Literature (“Homogeneous pressure influences the growth factor release profiles in solid PRF matrices and enhances vascular endothelial growth factor release in the solid PRF plugs” original article: Year 2018, Vol.1, Issue 1, page: 8-16).
- It offers an easy to read and navigate, coloured, LCD, touch-screen of latest technology.
- The device comes with:
- Rotation base of free angle with 16 positions for vacuum vials of 10ml or 15ml
- Free PRF instruments set, PRF Box with a perforated base and pressure plate
- Optional: Chambers/Adaptors for the use of 50ml vials
- Optional: Chambers/Adaptors for the use of 50ml vials
- Special devices Dr.PRP™ vials for the procurement of PRP for the facial aesthetics
Technical specifications:
- Max. Speed of 5.000 rpm
- Max. RCF (relative centrifuge force): 4.420 x g
- Silent operation: less than 65 dB
- Dimensions (LxWxH, in cm): 60 x 54 x 36
- Weight: 35 Kg
Specifications:
- Chamber of medical grade stainless steel
- LCD screen, smart navigation through touch-mode and buttons
- Possibility of storage of 20 programs
- 10 levels of control of acceleration and deceleration of rotation
