A member asked:
Is the platelet rich plasma (prp) method approved by the ada and do most periodontists now use it to accelerate the gum graft healing process?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is no requirements for ADA approval but are studies being run on PRP and numerous techniques. PRP is being used to aid healing in graft surgeries by periodontists. Most graft procedures are successful. It still will hassen the recovery and prognosis.
