OroGen Biosciences Oral Surgery Seminars

Back to Seminars       Orthopedic/Sports Medicine

Upcoming seminars on breakthrough dental, periodontal and oral surgery procedures.

Dentists and oral surgeons throughout the nation will soon have an opportunity to learn about breakthrough technologies that enhance outcomes for patients receiving a variety of procedures. The seminars will be hosted by OroGen Biosciences, a company that is pioneering the application of autologous platelet-rich plasma to speed healing and promote better results for procedures such as bone grafts, implants and maxillofacial reconstructions.

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is widely used to promote healing. After surgery, blood clots initiate the healing and regeneration of hard and soft tissues. Clinicians and scientists are investigating the use of PRP in dentistry as a way to enhance the body's natural wound-healing mechanisms. Now you can learn how to incorporate this exciting advance into your practice.

PRP can help patients heal two to three times faster.

When you use PRP techniques, you help patients heal rapidly using the power of their own body's healing processes. To use the technique, the clinician takes a sample of the patient's blood prior to the procedure and concentrates autologous platelets, producing a blood clot that has nearly a reverse ratio of red blood cells and platelets compared with a natural clot.

Research shows that surgical sites enhanced with PRP can heal at rates two or three times faster than untreated surgical sites. This makes PRP a great adjunct to many periodontal and oral surgery procedures. Here is a partial list of clinical applications:

• Bone grafting for dental implants
• Sinus lift. procedures
• Sealing perforations of the Schneiderian Membrane
• Alveolar nerve lateralization procedures
• Onlay grafts
• Particulate grafts
• Alveolar cleft palate repair
• Oral/nasal fistula repair
• Oral/antral fistula repair
• Post-operative hemostasis ileum of bone graft donor sites
• Continuity defects of the mandible
• Surgery on patients with hemophilia

How you and your pateint benefit.

In addition to rapid healing, the use of PRP produces these positive effects:

• "Jump Start" the cascade of osteogenesis in a bone graft
• Promotes early consolidation of the gaft
• Speeds up mineralization of the graft
• Improves trabecular bone density
• Allows placement of implants into the graft at an earlier time
• Provides earlier availability of growth factors and BMP
• Enhances osteoconduction

For these reasons, PRP is a valuable addition to dental, periodontal and oral surgery practices. At the OroGen Biosciences seminar, you'll receive comprehensive information on the didactic applications as well as instruction on how to effectively produce the highest concentration of growth factor preparation available.
