Abstract
Introduction: Achieving successful tissue regeneration following traditional therapeutic protocols, combining bone grafts and barrier membranes, may be challenging in certain clinical scenarios. A deeper understanding of periodontal and peri-implant wound healing and recent advances in the field of tissue engineering have provided clinicians with novel means to obtain predictable clinical outcomes. The use of growth factors such as recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF) with biocompatible matrices to promote tissue regeneration represents a promising approach in the disciplines of periodontology and implantology. Areas covered: This review covers the basic principles of bone and periodontal regeneration, and provides an overview of the biology of PDGF and its potential to predictably and reproducibly promote bone regeneration in regular clinical practice. The results of preclinical and clinical human studies evaluating the effectiveness of growth-factor-enhanced matrices are analyzed and discussed. Expert opinion: Current available evidence supports the use of rhPDGF-enhanced matrices to promote periodontal and peri-implant bone regeneration.Keywords
