Course Duration: 1.5 hours
Explore the science and clinical potential of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with internationally recognized researcher and educator Dr. Richard J. Miron.
This FREE On Demand course from DENTANEXT Media introduces PRF and its role in regenerative dentistry, implant treatment and facial esthetics. Discover the biological principles behind PRF, how it differs from platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and earlier platelet concentrates, and how regenerative approaches can support healing and expand treatment options.
Dr. Miron connects the science with practical considerations for incorporating PRF into everyday dental practice. The presentation explores dental and facial esthetic applications, approaches to implementation and emerging trends shaping regenerative care.
Whether you are new to PRF or exploring its potential within your practice, this course provides a foundation for understanding its applications and role in patient care.
