APPLICATIONS OF AUTOLOGOUS PLATELET RICH CONCENTRATES (PRF/CGF)
*The 2023 course date will be announced soon.
This comprehensive one-day hands-on course will cover both the science and clinical application of PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) and the latest protocol, CGF (Concentrated Growth Factors ) in clinical practice. Both PRF and CGF involve the slow release of growth factors which aid in acceleration of healing of both soft and hard tissue.
The benefits of utilizing patient’s own blood to obtain PRF and CGF in order to enhance success in implant, bone and soft tissue grafting procedures will be discussed. Participants willlearn the full spectrum of clinical application of PRF and CGF in dentistry including, socket preservation, lateral ridge augmentation, sinus lift and periodontal plastic surgery. Participants will receive hands-on training on simplified venipuncture technique andfabrication of PRF and CGF for clinical application.
