Explore how extended platelet-rich fibrin (ePRF) and Bio-Heat technology can support ridge preservation following tooth extraction. This clinical case highlights the use of an autologous ePRF membrane and its potential role in maintaining bone for successful implant placement.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been demonstrated to be an excellent biomaterial addition to most surgeries performed in dentistry owing to its excellent biocompatibility, super-concentrate of autogenous cells, and release of regenerative growth factors over time.
Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) has been utilized in implant dentistry for well over a decade owing to its ability to rapidly stimulate tissue angiogenesis. Over the years, much progress has been made to more effectively concentrate platelets and growth factors as well as define their clinical use for the regeneration of both soft and hard tissues.
PRP has been utilized in regenerative medicine for over 2 decades. Noteworthy, the use of PRF has been commercialized in several fields of medicine owing to its longer and steadier release of growth factors over time. These applications are utilized for several regenerative protocols which will be highlighted in this course which will inform the practitioner from basic science concepts all the way to various medical applications.
This exciting 16 CE course with two of the most highly respected educators in their fields, Dr. Anton Sculean & Dr. Richard Miron, addresses general dentists and periodontists who intend to learn more about the use of regenerative and esthetic procedures in periodontology.
Due to the need to rapidly begin centrifugation following blood draw, phlebotomy becomes an essential component for the production of PRF. Because no anticoagulants are utilized, centrifugation typically must be carried out within 60 to 90 seconds. Therefore, office staff must be well equipped and prepared to perform the act of phlebotomy.
Our 3-day Facial Esthetics Masterclass offers the latest advancements in facial esthetics with blood derivatives including sections on 1) injection techniques with PRF, 2) micro-needling techniques with PRF, 3) create a 100% biological filler (Bio-Filler) that is made from whole blood that lasts 4-6 months and 4) an overview on the applications of PRF in combination with laser therapy.
This Advanced Program in Platelet Rich Fibrin is designed to provide clinicians with thorough knowledge on when to utilize PRF in Regenerative Dentistry. Its content is derived from Dr. Richard Miron’s best-selling textbook titled: “Understanding Platelet Rich Fibrin”. This course provides the evidence-base decision-making process for those that wish to maximize either bone or periodontal regeneration.
