Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) Lecture, Live Surgery Demonstration and Workshop (Feb 23, 2019)

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) Lecture, Live Surgery Demonstration and Workshop is organized by UCLA School of Dentistry and will be held on Feb 23, 2019 at UCLA School of Dentistry, Los Angeles, California, United States of America. This CDE Conference has been approved for a maximum of 7 CDE Credits.

Platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) is an autogenous matrix derived from the concentration of the patient’s blood platelets. A simplified chairside procedure results in the production of a fibrin membrane that is capable of stimulating the release of many important growth factors involved during wound healing processes that take place after surgery. This course will provide a hands-on laboratory session and a live surgical demonstration to become proficient in the use of the L-PRF technology.

• Blood draw technique
• Understanding of biological principles of L-PRF
• Proper case selection and planning
• Understanding of surgical techniques
• PRF preparation techniques
• Management of complications and post-operative care
• Learn the use and creation of PRF from start to finish

Workshop Exercises:
• Growth Factors in Implant Dentistry
• Soft tissue management
• Complications and management
• Optimizing outcome
