Advanced PRF Education: Hands-on Workshop, Live Demos, Phlebotomy Training

This course provides a comprehensive update on the latest advancements in platelet concentrate technologies, with a special focus on next-generation PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) protocols. Participants will gain practical skills and scientific insights into optimizing PRF use for everyday dental procedures.

The course begins with an in-depth exploration of how to fabricate custom-shaped PRF grafts and how to better concentrate liquid-PRF using any centrifugation device. Emphasis will be placed on protocol optimization to improve the biological performance of PRF, including enhanced cell and growth factor release through concentrated-PRF (C-PRF) protocols compared to traditional injectable-PRF (i-PRF).

Participants will be introduced to: 

– Bio-Heat technology
– Step-by-step demonstrations on how to fabricate extended-PRF membranes for long-term regenerative applications
– Preparation of novel sticky bone with an outer e-PRF membrane
– Custom shaping of PRF membranes using advanced molding techniques
– Key parameters for thermal control to ensure optimal membrane properties during the Bio-Heat process.
