About the Course

Dr. Cynthia Scheines and osteocom welcome you to the complete theoretical and practical course on the everyday application of PRF therapy in oral tissue regeneration procedures.

Taught by a leading expert in Periodontal Regeneration - who has been researching in the field of growth factors, PRP and PRF over the past 20 years - the course covers a topic of great interest for dental specialists of all levels of experience. In particular, the course addresses how to biologically enhance the properties and potential of biomaterials by implementing recombinant DNA biotechnology in oral hard and soft tissue regeneration.
Growth factors are natural polypeptide molecules that operate as potent biological mediators and regulate various activities involved in the cicatrization process such as proliferation, chemotaxis, cell differentiation and synthesis of components of the extracellular matrix.

In addition to the theoretical lectures, the video course includes practical indications and a series of step-by-step clinical videos to demonstrate the principles of phlebotomy and the creation and manipulation of PRF membranes and other autologous preparations in daily dental practice.

The course includes:
  • 3 detailed theoretical lectures
  • 3 step by step clinical videos

Topics covered in the course:
  • Autogenous growth factors (Cytokines), including Platelet-derived Growth Factors (PDFG), Transforming Beta Growth Factors, Insulin-like Growth Factors and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors
  • The rationale behind autologous biologic treatment
  • The evolution and clinical application of different blood concentrate protocols
  • The centrifugation protocols for autologous blood concentrates

At the end of the course, you will:
  • Understand tissue engineering principles in autologous biologic treatment and wound healing
  • Understand when, where and why indications for the use of different autologous preparations such as PRP, PRF, rhPDGF BB to promote hard and soft tissue regeneration
  • Know more about the rationale and clinical applications of growth factors, Platelet Rich Plasma & PRF Platelet Rich Fibrin (first and second generation platelet concentrates) used in oral tissue regeneration
  • Be able to master PRF clots in daily clinical practice through clinical videos

Who the course is for:
All clinicians - especially periodontists, implantologists and oral surgeons - who want to know more about the biological and practical indications for using PRF in oral tissue regeneration.
