About

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.

What is platelet rich fibrin — PRF?
PRF is a provisional 3-dimensional matrix made of fibrin that accelerates wound healing
It contains a number of growth factors found in human blood centrifuged to reach supra-physiological doses that assist in tissue regeneration
It significantly decreases the rate of infection up to 10 fold, especially following molar extractions and prior/during implant placement

Learning Objectives

BIOLOGY OF WOUND HEALING
Platelet Rich Fibrin intensive course.
Growth factors: biology and physiology, mechanisms of action.
Low Speed Centrifugation Concept for PRF: More cytokines and growth factors.
Composition and influence on tissue healing.
BIOLOGY OF PLATELET RICH FIBRIN
Use of PRF in oral surgery and periodontology.
Liquid PRF: PRF that may be injected or combined with biomaterials​.
PRF as a “matrix” in soft tissue management: protocols, clinical results.
PRF as a “matrix” in bone augmentation: protocols, clinical results.
CLINICAL INDICATIONS FOR PLATELET RICH FIBRIN – PRF​
Protocols, clinical results, new perspectives in soft tissue regeneration and bone reconstruction.
PRF mixed with biomaterials: what kind of biomaterials do we have to mix with PRF?
HANDS-ON AND DEMO – PHLEBOTOMY TECHNIQUE
In order to maximize the potential of the PRF, blood collection from your patient is necessary.
There will be an introductory course in phlebotomy, including a hands-on session.

This program is half live lecture and half self-participation, designated for 8 hours of CE credit by BlueSkyBio under AGD Codes: Perio 490
