SUMMARY:Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
DESCRIPTION: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 lectures and a hands-on laboratory session to become knowledgeable in the use of the L-PRF technology.Learning Topics: \n\n\n\n\nBlood draw technique\n\n\n\nBiological principles of L-PRF\n\n\n\nCase selection and planning\n\n\n\nSurgical techniques\n\n\n\nPRF preparation techniques\n\n\n\nManagement of complications and post-operative care\n\n\n\nUse and creation of PRF from start to finish\n\n\n\nWorkshop Exercises\n\n\n\nGrowth Factors in Implant Dentistry\n\n\n\nSoft tissue management\n\n\n\nComplications and management\n\n\n\nOptimizing outcome

SUMMARY:Suturing Techniques and Principles
DESCRIPTION:Surgical procedures in dentistry are becoming much more commonplace\, where all dentists must be well-versed in basic and advanced suturing techniques. Whether performing a simple interrupted suture after draining a tooth abscess\, or releasing the periosteum to close a large incision after alveolar ridge augmentation\, many of the principles of tissue handling\, instrumentation\, and possible complications are the same. This course will review medical and local factors that can affect wound healing and review principles of suturing. Specific hands-on workshops will also be included to learn flap design\, basic and advanced suturing techniques\, focusing on tension-free closure\, and choosing appropriate suture materials. This course will make the participant more comfortable and confident in their suturing abilities\, allowing them to incorporate more surgical procedures into their daily practice.Course Topics: \n\n\n\n\nReview wound healing and principles of suturing\n\n\n\nChoosing the best suture size and material\n\n\n\nInterrupted vs. continuous suturing; horizontal and vertical mattress suturing; figure-of-eight; sling suturing\, and others\n\n\n\nSuturing techniques for extraction sockets\, bone grafting\, implants\, soft tissue grafting

SUMMARY:Preservation of Alveolar Bone Dimensions in Extraction Sockets
DESCRIPTION:The exponential growth in implant dentistry has resulted in the development of a number of new and important procedures. The preservation of the dimensions of the alveolar ridge after tooth removal is crucial for the successful placement of dental implants. The scientific evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of bone grafts and guided bone regeneration in preserving and regenerating hard tissue in extraction sockets is overwhelming. This hands-on workshop uses a pig jaw model where participants will practice the regenerative treatment of fresh extraction sockets\, including the selection and use of bone grafts\, membranes and biological wound dressings. Additionally\, participants will be taught flap elevation and suturing techniques that may be used in conjunction with ridge preservation procedures.
