Growth factors for periodontal regeneration: A novel appr...
Thakare, Kaustubh / Bhongade, Manohar
Tissue engineering is the best approach for periodontal regeneration, which utilizes a triad of stem cells, signalling molecules and scaffold. Among the signalling molecules platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is most commonly used growth factor for regeneration of periodontal defects. Need of a suitable scaffold is must so as to provide support to the signalling molecule, one such scaffold is beta tricalcium phosphate. The present study and...
