Theoretical/Conceptual Paradigm
The study is based on the premise that various preparations of platelet concentrate such as PRF and CGF may be regarded as healing biomaterials since they contain all the necessary components permitting optimal wound healing following surgical procedures. Components such as growth factors and pro-inflammatory cytokines have been reported to work in unison for the achievement of wound healing in various medical and surgical cases. As such this can be a promising innovation in the field of dental surgery, as well as in dental implantation procedures. Further, the two preparations may serve as filling materials that rapidly promote natural bone regeneration in dental cases that demand bone replacement

Other inputs are its subjects which are composed of 35 dental patients. They are either male or female, and within the age group 18 and up to less than 30 years old. In further making use of the IPO Model, the process in this study are the evaluation processes and methodology used in order to accurately gauze and measure the growth factor and platelet concentrations. Process of this study also includes the statistical tools and analysis of measurement. The output of this study will be the quantification of the levels of growth factor of platelet concentrate and growth factor concentrate. Other outputs may include findings on which of the two protocols will have greater platelet and growth factor concentrates, which thus, can lead to conclusion on which of the two can be a better option for wound healing.

Statement of the Problem
This study aims to assess the PRF and CGF as regards the platelet count, level of growth factors and effectiveness in promoting wound healing and filler following surgical removal of impacted third molar among Filipino patients.
Specifically, the study aims to seek answer to the following problems:
1. What is the profile of the patients as regards the:
1.1 age
1.2

Findings here will provide realization on whether it is significant or effective to use PRF and/or GCG or either for dental implant implant patients. This may also provide validation on which of the two is more effective in accelerating tissue healing. Value for money for a new technology. The two latest protocols, techniques or processes in wound or tissue healing are still considered costly by among the average-earning Filipino patient, and the gadgets are also yet considered hardly affordable by start-up dental surgeons. Thus, result of this study will provide a basis for practitioners for adoption of either or both technology, or none at all, for their dental practice. For appreciation of dental innovation. This study will provide practitioners and would be dental surgeons to better understand new techniques and methods in tissue/wound healing, and all its benefits to oral and dental care and

    Dental assistants place an important role in the delivery of dental care. This quarter I learned about basic dental procedures such as composite and amalgam restorations, as well as how to fabricate and cement a temporary crown. I applied this information during our lab class and made a temporary for my typodont. I was good at making a triple tray so we don’t need to make all those three opposing arch impression, bite registration and final impression which made the procedure done efficiently . Also, I placed amalgam restoration on my typodont with amalgam carrier, condenser and other instruments.…

    RPE Wound Response Paper

    To study and quantify the RPE wound healing in response to an acute or chronic wounding condition, we introduced one electrical treatment every day for ten days and measured the time for cells to regain 10% and 90% of the maximum impedance for each treatment. As illustrated in Fig. 1A, time for cells to reach 10% maximum can indicate the point where cells start to heal the wound; the period for cells to reach 10% and 90% maximum can represent the rate for cells to repair the wound. After the first treatment (an acute condition), bystander cells took average 7.7 hours to reach 10% maximum impedance and another average 12.2 hours to reach 90% maximum impedance. The duration for cells to recover gradually decreased with the daily treatment (Fig.…

    The professionals who treat cavitations and root canals have honed their skills and have developed ways to identify these unwanted conditions. Cavitations can be difficult to detect on traditional x-rays, especially if the dentist hasn’t been trained.3 Biological dentists are pioneers who are slowly changing the status quo. These remarkable individuals were trained as conventional dentists but had profound experiences (either themselves or with their patients) that challenged their beliefs and the way they practiced dentistry. Biological dentists endure criticism and worse from dental institutions and state dental boards. Insurance doesn’t cover much of their work.…

    Scientific curiosity across all fields of biomedicine has fueled advances of importance to oral health. Foremost was the mapping and sequencing of the human genome, which has led to determining the genetic defects associated with craniofacial anomalies. Research on stem cells and applications of that knowledge to biomimetics and regenerative medicine then made it possible to build new tissue. We can look forward to creating a tooth or rebuilding the periodontal tissue/tooth root complex to anchor a dental implant. Other new technology in oral health care expected in the next few years includes nonmechanical biofilm removal, guided tissue remineralization, and increased use of personalized health care, including salivary diagnostics, all of which have a potential role for future oral health practitioners.…

    As a little girl, I was always fascinated with teeth. Since I could remember, I knew I was going to be a dentist when I grew up. What interested me the most is how every single time I was lying in the dentist’s chair watching about four or five tools go inside my mouth at a time and I would not feel a thing. Of course it was the fact that I was numbed from cheek to cheek, but I was fascinated by the drugs given to patients in order for dentists to perform these painful dental surgeries on the soft tissues of someone’s teeth, bone, and oral cavity.…

    The study subjects were grouped into one of three groups: individuals who had periodontal disease treatment, individuals who had at least one other dental treatment (whether it be restorative, prosthetic or surgical), and finally, individuals who received no dental treatment. The medical cost for each group was calculated after a two-year period and displayed a reduction of cost when individuals who had periodontal treatment in the first year of the study were compared to those who were only treated in the second year. Those treated for periodontal disease with diabetes displayed a 9% associated reduction of in overall medical costs, CAD showed 16%, and CVD showed…
