Description

This book will help clinicians achieve good results with Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) concentrates. It starts with basic scientific chapters on tissue regeneration, blood centrifugation and a description of the biological capabilities of platelet concentrates. But the true value of this book lies in an evidence-based evaluation of the benefits of L-PRF in periodontal and maxillofacial surgery and chronic wound management. For each treatment, a step-by-step approach is described by experienced clinicians. The most crucial steps are explained in 18 videos via augmented reality.
