background and aims. a combination of guided tissue regeneration (gtr), bovine porous bone mineral (bpbm), and platelet rich plasma has been already applied for the regeneration of intrabony defects. the aim of this study was to determine the role of plasma rich in growth factor (prgf) alone in the periodontal regeneration of intrabony defects in humans as compared with bpbm/gtr technique. mate...

We described a combined periodontal-endodontic lesion, which was caused by a palatogingival groove and an additional root. An interdisciplinary approach involving endodontic therapy, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) filling, root resection, guided tissue regeneration, and papillary reconstruction was used for the case. The tooth presents morphologically and functionally normal except tooth disc...

currently autografts are gold standards for craniomaxillofacial bone regeneration. but autografts have some limitations. bone tissue engineering has been introduced to overcome these limitations. it consist three components: stem cells, growth factor, and scaffold. scaffold provides an environment for bone growth and simplifies cell adhesion, differentiation and proliferation. in this review, a...
