S-02 Comparison of Piezotome Bone Windows with PRF and Bone Crushing Techniques

CE Hours: 1.5

Description: The lecture will discuss results of the PRF study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania describing the use of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) used in Endodontic Microsurgery. Also to be discussed is the use of the Piezotome to create a bone window (bony lid) and as an alternative to securing the bone window, we will show the bone crushing technique where the crushed window is used as an autogenous graft, mixed with the serum derived from pressing the PRF plug into a membrane

Learning Objectives:  

• Create Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) through the technique described in the presentation
• Describe and analyze the results of current PRF study
• Explain the technique and benefits to bone crushing of the bone window to use as sticky bone withing the surgical osteotomy
