Course Overview:

The art and science of autologous socket grafting is becoming more popular in dentistry as dentists become better educated and trained in this procedure. The simplicity of using readily available blood derivatives of centrifuged venous blood has enhanced the clinical outcomes of regenerating tissues while reducing the need for costly biologics such as allograft and membrane materials. In this course we will review the science, clinical applications and handling techniques/preparation of the Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) towards various clinical uses primarily socket regeneration. Venipuncture technique will be presented and demonstrated during the lecture in preparation for the hands-on portion where attendees (licensed dentists) will volunteer to perform venipuncture on attendees and volunteers to allow venipuncture on themselves. An experienced licensed dentist (and local RN) will assist with such procedures. The samples of blood will be collected in vials for use with centrifugation followed by handling techniques to simulate the clinical preparation just prior to a clinical use. We will discuss best practices for disposal of biological waste, as well.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the science of blood derivatives involved with clinical applications in dentistry

  • Understand the process of venipuncture and centrifugation of blood

  • Understand patient management of related procedures

  • Experience and demonstrate venipuncture

  • Learn the techniques in handling blood samples and the fibrin manipulation

  • Learn the safe handling of biological waste
