Session 4: PRF Workshop & Live-Patient Implant Surgery Program

The first day of this 3-day (30 CE) program focuses on the science and protocols of utilizing PRF and PRP in different clinical applications.

Participants will apply their previous didactic and hands-on training, such as atraumatic extractions, implant placement, bone grafting, suturing, and much more.
