A Randomised Control Clinical Trial Investigating the Effect of H-PRF on Implant Stability and Marginal Bone Levels

Most commercially available centrifuges used for PRF production are fixed-angle systems designed primarily for pelleting samples to the bottom of tubes and are not particularly efficient at separating the cell layers effectively. Research has demonstrated that PRF produced using horizontal centrifugation (H-PRF) can lead to a higher concentration of platelets and leukocytes compared to PRF produced from fixed-angle centrifugation (LPRF). The resulting PRF from horizontal centrifugation is termed 'horizontal platelet-rich fibrin' (H-PRF). The H-PRF clot will be produced using a Bio-PRF horizontal centrifuge machine. This machine is CE marked and regularly used in the Dublin Dental University Hospital.
