Nature's Healing Power: Unlocking the Potential of Platelet-Rich Fibrin in Dentistry

This talk will highlight recent advancements in platelet concentrates, including innovations in horizontal centrifugation and liquid concentrated PRF, to accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration in clinical applications such as periodontology, implant dentistry, temporomandibular joint disorders, and facial esthetics.

Nature's Healing Power: Unlocking the Potential of Platelet-Rich Fibrin in Dentistry
Dr. Richard Miron, DDS, BMSC, MSc, PhD

Dr. Richard Miron is a renowned educator and researcher in regenerative dentistry, known for his extensive publications and international lectures on growth factors and bone biomaterials.

Course Overview: 

The use of platelet concentrates has a long history in various medical fields as an autologous source of growth factors, fabricated through blood centrifugation under different conditions. While platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was introduced as a first-generation platelet concentrate over three decades ago, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has gained increasing use over the past decade due to its lack of anticoagulation factors, which favor fibrin clot formation and faster wound healing. More recently, liquid PRF has emerged as a new formulation without anticoagulation factors, allowing it to be combined with bone biomaterials to enhance particle stability, angiogenesis, and tissue integration. This talk will highlight recent advancements in platelet concentrates, including innovations in horizontal centrifugation and liquid concentrated PRF, to accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration in clinical applications such as periodontology, implant dentistry, temporomandibular joint disorders, and facial esthetics.

Objectives: 

1. Provide the biological background and scientific rationale for why platelet  concentrates speed wound healing 

2. Introduce new protocols using horizontal centrifugation 

3. Provide clinical indications when, where and why to use PRF (membranes and liquid) in regenerative dentistry and facial esthetics
