The combined effect of beta-tricalcium phosphate and basic fibroblast growth factor was observed in the regeneration of periodontal tissue in dogs. For this purpose, either beta-TCP and FGF-2 (beta-TCP/FGF-2 group) or FGF-2 alone (FGF-2 group) was applied in intrabony defects. The control group received beta-TCP alone. The tissues were histologically examined at 2, 4, or 8 weeks following treat...

Alloplastic bone graft materials are widely been used in combination with barrier membranes to achieve guided tissue regeneration in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. This study was designed to evaluate the clinical outcome of a composite material, beta tricalcium phosphate in combination with calcium sulphate in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. The combination of t...

in this study, based on a biomimetic approach, novel 3d biodegradable porous hybrid scaffolds consisting of chitosan, gelatin, and tricalcium phosphate were developed for bone and cartilage tissue engineering. macroporous chitosan/ gelatin/β-tcp scaffolds were prepared through the process of freeze-gelation/solid-liquid phase separation. the results showed that the prepared scaffolds are highly...
