    Detailed Answer

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

    Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is prepared from a small sample of the patient's own blood. The sample is processed to concentrate a platelet-rich portion that may be used with selected dental procedures.

    Dr. Bashi discusses using PRP alongside procedures such as bone grafting. It is an addition to the planned treatment, and its usefulness depends on the procedure and the patient's situation.

    The blood draw and processing add steps to the appointment. The consultation should explain why PRP is being considered, its expected benefits, and possible risks. Faster healing or a better result cannot be guaranteed.
