PRF: Everything Hands-On. Regenerative Clinical Integration

Prepare A-PRF and S-PRF, fabricate membranes and plugs, and bring PRF into implant, sinus and soft-tissue procedures.

Last held May 1–2, 2026 · Duluth, GA · 15 CE credits · Joseph Choukroun

Overview

This immersive Hands-On two-day course with Dr. Joseph Choukroun demystifies PRF and translates biologic principles into predictable clinical workflows. Through step-by-step labs, participants prepare A-PRF / S-PRF, fabricate membranes/plugs, and practice combination techniques (e.g., “sticky bone” with particulate grafts). You’ll review clot biology, growth-factor release kinetics, and how centrifugation settings influence fibrin architecture.

Clinical modules cover:
● Extraction & ridge preservation with PRF membranes and plugs
● Immediate implant protocols (primary stability, gap management)
● Sinus augmentation (lateral and crestal approaches with PRF adjuncts)
● Soft-tissue management (healing optimization, dehiscence mitigation)
● Documentation/consent & patient communication for biologics

Format
Hands-on labs
Who should attend
Clinicians who perform extractions, implants, grafting or sinus procedures

What you'll learn

  • Explain the biologic basis of PRF and how spin protocols affect outcomes
  • Prepare A-PRF / S-PRF, membranes, plugs, and sticky-bone safely and reproducibly
  • Integrate PRF into socket preservation, immediate implants, GBR, and sinus procedures
  • Establish sterilization, tray setup, and documentation/consent workflows for biologics
  • Communicate PRF benefits/limitations to patients and team members

Why this course will transform your practice

  • Boosts case acceptance by making healing benefits easy to understand.
  • Enables a premium add-on fee (where allowed) for surgical procedures.
  • Increases average revenue per case when bundled into upgraded packages.
  • Cuts costly “free” time by reducing post-op emergencies and extra visits.
  • Protects margins through more predictable graft/implant healing outcomes.
  • Lowers the risk of remakes, refunds, and heavy discounting from complications.
  • Differentiates your practice with a clear “advanced healing protocol” offering.
  • Improves marketing content (education-based posts, website messaging, chairside scripts).
  • Drives word-of-mouth referrals when patients feel they recovered better/faster.
  • Supports premium positioning and patient-perceived value without competing on price.
