Cosmetic Dentist In Baltimore Offers New Technology To Promote Better And Faster Healing

    BALTIMORE, MD, April 08, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In order to promote faster, better healing, Dr. K. Michael Murphy, cosmetic dentist in Baltimore, and his team of dental professionals, are now offering new growth factor technology. With the Endoret System, Dr. Murphy collects patients' own platelets and plasma to improve and promote healing after various dental procedures.

For over 20 years, the use of a patient's own platelets and plasma has been evolving in surgical medicine and dentistry, and now Dr. Murphy, Baltimore dental implant dentist, is pleased to offer it at his own practice. The surgical goals are to reduce swelling, accelerate soft tissue growth and healing, and to promote more and better quality bone formation where needed.

"It is a pleasure to be able to provide my patients with the most advanced dental care available. With growth factor bio-technology, I can offer my patients advanced healing, and the promotion of better quality bone formation where needed. I look forward to utilizing this innovative technique to provide my patients with superior dental care," said Dr. K. Michael Murphy, Baltimore cosmetic dentist.

The two newest protocols are called Plasma Rich Growth Factor (PRGF) and Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF). These techniques have been studied for about 10 years without harmful effects to the patient. The procedure begins by obtaining several tubes of blood from the patient. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge and specific components are removed and concentrated. These include the platelets and the plasma.

The platelet concentrate contains more than ten of the patient's own growth factors and the plasma contains fibrin, which is the foundation of all initial healing in the body. Both of these components are used during the implant or periodontal surgery to grow more and better quality bone, as well as the acceleration of soft tissue healing.

With this new technology, Dr. Murphy, Baltimore dentures dentist, and his team of dental professionals offer patients a new way to successfully treat patients.
