The aim of this study is to compare bovine bone with or without concentrated growth factor in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.
Periodontitis is an infection-driven inflammatory disease resulting from dental plaque accumulation at the gingival margin, triggering an inflammatory response that leads to microbial alterations and may have severe consequences for the periodontium of susceptible individuals. The xenograft most commonly used in periodontal regeneration procedures is the deproteinized bovine or equine bone mineral. Platelets are known to play a significant role in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) by releasing several growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF), which are present in platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a first-generation platelet concentrate. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and concentrated growth factors (CGF) are considered the second generation of platelet concentrate.
