Abstract

Course Description: Recently our ability to accurately describe biological events that take place during bone regeneration has drastically been improved by advancements made in the fields of cell and molecular biology. The present talk will discuss the future field of osteoinductive materials including the recent advancements made in synthetic osteoinductive bone grafts. Furthermore, the development of a liquid formulation of enamel matrix derivative (Osteogain) for bone and periodontal regeneration, as well as the bone-inducing properties of BMP9 will be discussed. Objectives: • Provide the biological background and scientific rationale for why platelet concentrates speed wound healing • Introduce the low-speed centrifugation concept and the theory behind these advanced PRF formulations • Provide clinical indications when, where and why to use A-PRF and i-PRF in regenerative dentistry • Provide key areas for future uses of A-PRF and i-PRF for everyday dental practice
