Course Description
Favorable wound healing has always been a major quest in dental & medical surgery. To improve & accelerate healing of both hard and soft tissues, substitutes including growth factors, biomaterials & membranes have been traditionally used. Recent research clearly indicates that L-PRF significantly enhances wound healing in both soft & hard tissues. Evidence now supports the assertion that this has the potential to replace the above-mentioned substitutes in many situations.
