This talk aims to highlight the recent advancements made with respect to the newest protocols of platelet concentrates including recent developments in horizontal centrifugation and liquid concentrated-PRF to further speed wound healing and tissue regeneration for various clinical indications faced in routine daily dental practice. These will also include the novel Bio-Heat and Bio-Cool technology with an ability to extend the working properties of PRF from 2-3 weeks to 4-6 months. Thus, the technology can be utilized in certain indications as a substitute for collagen membranes for the holistic patients. Lastly, new clinical applications and uses of PRF will be presented in implantology, periodontology, and facial esthetics.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Day 2 will be entirely hands-on. This workshop will cover all the new advancements made with respect to the newest formulations of platelet concentrates. These will cover how to make custom-shaped PRF grafts, how to better concentrate liquid-PRF (C-PRF protocols) and will provide a better understanding for optimization of the protocols utilized in every day dental practice. Thereafter, the Bio-Heat technology will be presented. This will cover the heating steps necessary to extend the working properties of PRF from a fast-resorbing 2-3 weeks membrane towards a membrane that lasts 4-6 months. Various protocols will be demonstrated whereby clinicians will learn how to make an extended-PRF membrane that lasts 4-6 months, as well as how to make a novel sticky bone that contains an outer e-PRF membrane that may be utilized for ridge augmentation procedures.

Facial esthetics has become one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. As the field continues to evolve and patients demand more and more of practitioners, it is clear that both the beginner, as well as the advanced practitioner seek convenient, safe, and effective therapies. This lecture will discuss the 100% all natural approach to facial esthetics using lasers and platelet rich fibrin. PRF has been used for decades in regenerative medicine and has slowly made its way into the medical esthetic arena, often used in combination with other leading therapies to support minimally invasive esthetic procedures. One main discovery has been the ability to extend the resorption properties of PRF from 2-3 weeks to 4-6 months utilizing the Bio-Heat Technology. Within 10 minutes, liquid-PRF can be transformed towards a biological filler (Bio-Filler) that lasts half a year. When utilized in combination specifically with Fotona laser therapy, this combination approach favors additional collagen synthesis and stimulation of soft tissue regeneration utilizing 100% natural approaches. This has been the cornerstone therapy at www.care-esthetics.com, a growing trend whereby dentists are involved in the field. This lecture will begin by introducing the scientific background and advancements to PRF therapy in combination with laser therapy. Thereafter, it will highlight how dentists can join and become CARE Esthetic providers within their various regions and maximize revenue using their Fotona Lightwalker by entering this multi-billion dollars industry.

Despite our best efforts to study, treat, and manage diseases of the periodontium, research continues to indicate increasing prevalence of oral inflammatory conditions, unpack challenges with our existing protocols and challenge the dental profession with paradigm shifts. The ‘gold standard’ of periodontal disease management is pivoting as patients are looking to non-invasive approaches to safely, efficiently, and definitively treat disease and subsequently promote health. The ever-changing environment of health care delivery is now focusing on the convergence of precision medicine, implementation science, and learning health care system studies to synergistically improve clinical health outcomes. While our medical co leagues have adapted these paradigm shifts into avant-garde approaches to patient care, dentistry is now called upon to become part of this trailblazing movement. Join periodontal hygienist and international speaker Katrina M Sanders as she discusses a revolutionary concept of ‘Precision Periodontics’, critically examining the current landscape of oral inflammation with a deep focus on contemporary interventions aimed to transform non-invasive care for the periodontal patient, improve clinical outcomes, and optimize management of periodontal diseases.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Dental implants are now the standard of care for patients with missing teeth. As the number of cases increases, it is essential to communicate ideal dental care following implant placement. The dental hygienist is often recognized by the patient as a trusted mentor and a go-to once a patient faces treatment options. This course emphasizes the hygienists role in pre-, intra-, and post-treatment to minimize infection and potential complications. Evidence based decision making, including safety and efficacy of instrument used in maintenance will be discussed. This presentation will review current literature on instrumentation, as well as biocompatibility of materials on titanium and zirconia surfaces.

Exodontia is the most common surgical procedure performed in the specialty of Oral Surgery. Complications are unforeseen events that tend to increase the morbidity, above what would be expected from a particular operative procedure under normal circumstances. Even the practice of routine exodontia inevitably results in complications from time to time. It is imperative for the clinician to recognize impending complications and manage them accordingly. General Practitioners who do not have advanced training and skills are more involved in surgical dentoalveolar procedures since a high percentage of patients suffer from multiple comorbidities or local anatomical variations. Some complications may be relatively minor and easy to control, while others will be major and can result in permanent damage of adjacent or vital anatomical structures or can even be life-threatening. This lecture is based on numerous clinical examples and cases, as a well as an extensive literature review and gives an overview about typical intra- and postoperative complications related to exodontia or common dentoalveolar procedures, with even severe adverse outcomes causing medical emergencies with potentially life threatening complication that even required intubation, emergency tracheostomy, or intensive care hospitalization.

Have you thought about how medical and recreational marijuana use may impact you as a practitioner? This course will discuss treatment modalities of patients using this drug. With states legalizing marijuana, it will be challenging to address just how to safely provide dentistry to our patients. We’ll talk about how to make common sense decisions on a topic that has become our new normal. We will also discuss the basic history, method of use, myths, and provide a general knowledge of this complex and ever-changing topic.
