THE ROLE OF GROWTH FACTORS IN AUTOLOGOUS PLATELET CONCENTERATE FOR TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL BONE DEFECT WITH PLATELET RICH FIBRIN: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is regeneration of tissues which are destroyed as a result of periodontal disease. Periodontal regeneration is regarded as a difficult and challenging concept as it requires a complex process of coordination of various cellular activities. Dental surgeons are constantly looking for an edge that jump starts the healing process to maximize predictability as well as volume of regenerated bone.PRF is a new step in the platelet gel therapeutic concept with simplified processing minus artificial biochemical modification which accelerates healing at surgical sites, serving as a beneficial ingredient for regeneration.
