A General Aspect of Platelet Rich Plasma

Öz

The aim of this scientific paper is to introduce Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) cure method by people who never heard about it. People can hurt their selves, thus they can have damaged tissue; for instance broken bone, a scar or a wounded area. Furthermore damaged tissue can be a cartilage tissue, which takes very long time to heal. Platelets, those exist in the veins as thrombus, come up to repair those damaged tissues. However, platelets would be insufficient to cure damaged area in a short time. At this point PRP cure method give a hand to the healing process. By centrifuging people’s own blood via special kits, platelets can be separated from blood cells as plasma. That plasma’s platelet density is 3-5 times greater than that blood’s platelet density. Afterwards PRP method is implemented by injection of plasma to the damaged area or tissue. After implementation of 2-4 sessions per week, damaged tissue can be regenerated. It is fast healing method because densified platelet plasma is used; and it is safe because that plasma is obtained from people’s own blood. PRP can be implemented on many areas; for instance on dentistry, sports medicine, different kind of surgeries such as plastic, vascular or orthopedic and so on. When soccer players brake their legs, their sports life come to the end, but what if their broken legs was healed better and faster than general healing process? To sum up, PRP is very safe and the future of healing process.

Trombosit Yönünden Zenginleştirilmiş Plazmaya Genel Bir Bakış

Öz

Bu bilimsel makalenin amacı, trombosit yönünden zenginleştirilmiş plazma (PRP, Platelet Rich Plasma) ile tedavi yöntemini daha önce hiç duymamış insanlara tanıtmaktır. İnsanlar sakatlanabilir, böylece bedenlerinde doku zedelenmeleri yaşanabilir; örneğin kemik kırığı, küçük yaralanma ya da yaralı bir bölge oluşabilir. Ayrıca hasarlı doku iyileşmesi çok uzun zaman alan bir kıkırdak doku olabilir. Damarda trombüs olarak bulunan trombositler, hasarlı dokularını onarmak için ortaya çıkarlar. Bununla birlikte, kısa bir sürede trombositler hasarlı alanın tedavisi için yeterli olacaklardır. Bu noktada PRP tedavi yöntemi iyileşme sürecine bir el verir. Özel kitlerle santrifüj edilen insanların kanlarında trombosit, kan hücreleri ve plazmadan ayrıştırılabilir. Bu ayrıştırılmış plazmanın trombosit yoğunluğu, kandaki trombosit yoğunluğundan 3-5 kat daha fazladır. Daha sonra hasarlı bölgeye ya da dokuya plazma enjeksiyonu ile PRP yöntemi uygulanır. Haftada 2-4 seans uygulanması sonrasında, hasarlı doku yenilenebilir. Yoğunlaştırılmış trombosit plazması kullanıldığı için bu hızlı bir iyileşme yöntemidir; bu plazma insanın kendi kanından elde edildiği için de güvenli bir yöntemdir. PRP birçok alanda uygulanabilir; diş hekimliği, spor hekimliği ile plastik, damar ya da ortopedik gibi farklı tür cerrahi alanları örnek gösterilebilir. Futbolcuların bacakları kırıldığında spor hayatlarının sonuna gelirlerdi. Eğer kırılan bacakları daha iyi ve daha hızlı iyileştirilmiş olsaydı spor hayatları yine de biter miydi? Özetle PRP’ yi, geleceğin güvenli tedavi yöntemi olarak tanımlayabiliriz
