Is PRP Therapy Safe?

PRP uses a patient's own blood, but that does not make it risk-free. A health-history review helps determine whether the blood draw and proposed dental use are appropriate.

    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    PRP is made from a patient's own blood rather than a donor's. That feature does not eliminate procedural risks or mean it is appropriate for everyone.

    The process involves collecting a small blood sample, processing it, and using the platelet-rich portion as part of the proposed treatment. A medical-history review, including medications and relevant health conditions, helps determine suitability.

    Ask the treating team to explain the blood draw, intended dental use, expected benefits, and possible complications. The decision should be based on the individual treatment plan.
