Use of Liquid PRF and Lasers in Facial Esthetics: All Natural Regenerative Therapies (235)

Resorption properties from the standard fast-resorbing 2-3 week membranes towards an extended membrane that lasts 4-6 months. This talk will first focus on these advancements recently published in the Journal Periodontology 2000. Clinical indications and case series studies will be presented on various opportunities whereby collagen membranes can be entirely replaced by these autologous sources. Thereafter, their use as an all-natural facial filler will be discussed as replacement options to standard HA chemical fillers. Lastly, exosomes, the smallest subset of extracellular signaling vesicles, will be discussed, as they have gained enormous momentum recently for their ability to be utilized as diagnostic tools as well as for a vast array of therapeutic applications. This talk will include a discussion of exosomes, including their cell origin, biogenesis, function, and characterization. Thereafter, an overview of their application in regenerative dentistry and medicine will be presented, including their use as an adjunct to PRF therapy.
