Phlebotomy Hands-On and Applications of PRF in Dentistry
- October 27-28, 2023
This two day program will cover use of concentrated growth factors (cgf) derived from autogenous platelet concentrates in alveolar ridge augmentation and maxillary sinus augmentation.
- Venous system anatomy and physiology to identify peripheral veins appropriate for venipuncture.
- Determine critical elements of venipuncture technique, care and maintenance.
- Identify potential complications related to peripheral lines.
- Proper techniques of cleansing venipuncture site.
- Will review proper labeling of obtained specimen after draw in the presence of the patient.
- Hands-On blood draws on mannequin and on each other.
- Infection control & sanitary procedures according to CDC guidelines.
- Steps on how to dispose biohazard waste materials and sharps.
- Certification will be provided
The second day will cover the rationale, preparation and surgical techniques of cgf, leukocyte rich platelet rich fibrin(l-prf), and autogenous fibrin bone gel combined with allograft bone in alveolar ridge and sinus augmentation procedures. This will be accomplished through the lens of a case presentation format and review of current scientific literature.
After the completion of day two participants should have a clear understanding as to the preparation of cgf and its applications in augmentation procedures for both the alveolar ridge and maxillary sinuses.
