Platelet concentrates have been used in medicine for over 20 years now, but the last 5 years have witnessed an explosion in research on platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) because of its ability to promote healing of both bone and soft tissue. This has led to a marked increase in our understanding of PRF therapy with respect to selection of appropriate centrifugation devices, impact of tube chemistry on clotting, the optimization of protocols to better concentrate PRF, and even the ability to extend the working properties of PRF from 2–3 weeks to 4–6 months using a simple heating process. Bringing together expert researchers and clinicians from various dental specialties, this book first explores the biology of PRF and then demonstrates its myriad clinical applications in periodontology, implant dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, facial esthetics, and medicine. The true value of this book lies in the blend of data and clinical application, so readers can feel confident knowing that the protocols recommended are fully supported by scientific evidence and demonstrated step by step by clinicians already using them in their daily practice. Even better, supplementary videos throughout showcase these procedures for better understanding. As Dr Robert E. Marx writes, “Understanding Platelet-Rich Fibrin is a book for this decade that transcends all specialties of dentistry and many of medicine,” so it’s definitely one you’ll want to read.600 Illustrations Contents: 1 Evolution of Platelet Concentrates Section I | Biology of PRF 2 Biology of PRF: Fibrin Matrix, Growth Factor Release, and Cellular Activity 3 Horizontal Versus Fixed-Angle Centrifugation of PRF: Optimization of C-PRF 4 Understanding Relative Centrifugal Force (G-Force) 5 Importance of Centrifugation Tubes for the Production of PRF 6 Protocols for PRF 7 Biologic Characterization of e-PRF Membranes 8 Armamentarium in a PRF Kit 9 Phlebotomy 10 Fabricating Various PRF Modalities 11 Overview of Clinical Indications Using PRF Section II | Periodontology 12 Use of PRF for the Treatment of Gingival Recessions 13 Use of PRF for the Treatment of Intrabony and Furcation Defects 14 Use of PRF for Extraction Site Management Section III | Implant Dentistry 15 Use of PRF as an Adjunct Therapy to Implant Dentistry 16 Use of PRF in Guided Bone Regeneration 17 Use of PRF for Sinus Grafting Section IV | Additional Dental and Medical Applications 18 Use of PRF in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 19 Use of PRF in Regenerative Endodontics 20 Use of PRF in Facial Esthetics 21 Medical Uses of PRF 22 Future Research with PRF Read more

Dentistry plays a significant role in reducing the impact of chronic disease in patients who have made loyal commitments to our practices and have trusted us to guide them in making healthcare decisions. Every component of the dental practice will be rewarded when transforming from a traditional dental hygiene program to an oral medicine platform. There will be team member satisfaction and fulfillment, patient appreciation, and personal professional growth experiences. And yes, when patients experience the concern we show for their overall health, extending above and beyond saving individual teeth, case acceptance should go up in every category.Traditional dental hygiene has focused on disease remediation by providing local therapy: mechanical debridement. In this inadequate model, tissue architecture has dictated diagnosis and some descriptor of treatment success. Periodontal disease is not a local disease defined by pockets and recession. It is now known that periodontitis is a systemic disease diagnosed by pathogen presence and concentrations. In reality, we now know that one infected pocket means an entire infected mouth. The pathogens responsible for local oral tissue breakdown can be found in distant translocated microbiomes initiating the same tissue damage to cardiovascular tissue or other critical organs.Current landmark research has moved high-risk oral pathogens past the ‘level A’ risk factor designation to causal for atherosclerotic vascular disease. Dentistry has been aware that mechanical debridement does not alter the distant microbiomes of these high-risk pathogens, and in fact, perhaps traditional scaling and root planing as the sole therapy for periodontitis is now a substandard care modality. It is not essential that all members of the dental team completely understand some of the complex science that supports a recommended treatment platform for periodontal disease. It is important for all team members to know that evidence exists and that they can become experts by simply being authentic in their chairside conversations.In short, this training workbook allows dental teams to treat high-risk pathogens in high-risk patients to avoid and/or minimize the effects of chronic inflammatory diseases exacerbated or initiated by oral bacteria.The 12 Steps will guide your dental team to completely understand and then implement a comprehensive oral systemic platform in the dental hygiene department of your practice. Many of the principles discovered will be transferred to any invasive dental procedure being accomplished in the practice to protect high-risk patients from the negative impact of high-risk pathogens. This profession has been blessed by the work and persistent commitment of several oral systemic pioneers; it is their voices that echo throughout the pages of this manual. Read more

New and innovative biomaterials are being discovered or created in laboratories at an unprecedented rate, but many of them remain entirely foreign to practicing clinicians. This book addresses this gap in knowledge by summarizing some of the groundbreaking research performed to date on this topic and providing case examples of these biomaterials at work. The book begins with a review of the biologic background and applications of bone grafting materials utilized in dentistry. The principles of guided tissue and bone regeneration are covered in detail, including many recent advancements in barrier membrane technologies as well as use of platelet-rich fibrin and various growth factors, and many next-generation materials that will optimize future bone and periodontal regeneration are presented. The final chapter is designed to help clinicians select appropriate biomaterials for each specific regenerative protocol. Much like one implant size and shape cannot be utilized for every indication in implant dentistry, one bone grafting material, barrier membrane, or growth factor cannot maximize regenerative outcomes in all clinical situations. This textbook teaches clinicians how to utilize biomaterials in an appropriate, predictable, and evidence-based manner. 960 Illustrations Contents: 1.

George, Donley, and Preshaw provide a comprehensive resource for dental students, dental hygiene and therapy students, and periodontal residents, as well as practicing dental hygienists and dentists who are looking to increase their familiarity and skills with ultrasonic instrumentation.The opening section describes the basic foundational knowledge of periodontal debridement; how it differs from and supersedes scaling and root planing, how it fits with modern concepts of periodontal disease pathogenesis, and includes a comparison of periodontal debridement instrumentation modalities. Section 2 describes ultrasonic technology, the variety of tip designs that are available, and provides practical guidance in appropriate tip selection. Section 3 focuses on the clinical applications of ultrasonic periodontal debridement, including patient assessment, medical and dental considerations, and provides specific guidance in clinical debridement techniques.

Implant dentistry has grown enormously in popularity during the last few decades and is heralded as a revolutionary breakthrough in improving patient quality of life. Nevertheless, many clinicians have neglected to adequately consider the biologic complications that may occur over time and that can lead to implant failure. Peri-implantitis is the foremost complication that everyone wants to avoid, but there is neither one etiology nor one common solution for peri-implantitis. This timely publication bolsters the armamentarium of implant clinicians in understanding peri-implantitis and how to treat it. In this book, surgical and prosthodontic thought leaders share their methods ranging from prevention to regeneration, offering practical information to make the decision between saving the implant or removing it as well as how to avoid peri-implantitis in the first place.1,800 illus Contents 1.
