OHI-S Regenerative Dentistry PRF in Clinical Practice

6 lessons (2h 55min)

Learn the regenerative and biological dentistry approach with Dr. Richard Miron — a dentist and molecular cell biologist!
During the course, you will dive into the various applications of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) beyond soft tissue injuries and implantology, exploring its use in periodontal regeneration, bone grafting procedures, sinus augmentation, and wound healing. Dr. Richard Miron will guide you through the latest research findings and clinical techniques to maximize the therapeutic potential of PRF in diverse dental procedures.

The OHI‑S Regenerative Dentistry: PRF in Clinical Practice course is best for dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, implantologists, and dental technicians who want structured, CE‑accredited training in the use of Platelet‑Rich Fibrin (PRF) for regenerative procedures. It is designed to teach clinicians how to integrate PRF into everyday practice for enhanced healing, predictable outcomes, and minimally invasive dentistry.
Who Should Enroll

General dentists incorporating regenerative techniques into routine restorative and surgical care.
Oral & maxillofacial surgeons using PRF in bone grafting, sinus lifts, and surgical wound healing.
Periodontists applying PRF in periodontal regeneration and soft tissue management.
Implantologists enhancing osseointegration and peri‑implant tissue healing with PRF.
Dental technicians & lab professionals collaborating on prosthetic workflows that integrate regenerative protocols.
Residents, fellows, and trainees in oral surgery, periodontics, or implantology seeking foundational regenerative knowledge.

What You’ll Learn

Biological principles of PRF: understanding autologous platelet concentrates and their role in healing.
Clinical protocols: step‑by‑step guidance for PRF preparation and application in dentistry.
Applications in implantology: socket preservation, sinus augmentation, and peri‑implant tissue regeneration.
Periodontal therapy: PRF in soft tissue grafting and defect healing.
Restorative dentistry: integrating PRF into minimally invasive workflows for functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Case‑based lessons: real patient examples demonstrating predictable regenerative success.
