Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin in Oral Regenerative Procedures

Marc Quirynen / Nelson R. Pinto
 
This book will guide clinicians to achieve great results with L-PRF. It starts with basic science chapters on tissue regeneration, blood centrifugation, and an explanation of the biologic power of platelet concentrates. However, the true value of this book lies in an evidence-based evaluation of the benefits of L-PRF in periodontal and maxillofacial surgery, as well as in chronic wound therapy. For each treatment, a step-by-step approach has been created by experienced clinicians. The most crucial steps are explained in 18 videos via augmented reality.
