Overview
Brief Summary
Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) has been widely used in regenerative dentistry since it provides plenty amount of growth factors that enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration. Platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is a growth factor with essential functions such as regulation of cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of PRF in improving the clinical periodontal parameters and GCF level of PDGF-BB.
Detailed Description
Split mouth randomized clinical trial is the design of the study. 12 periodontitis patients with 24 opposite shallow periodontal pockets (4-6 mm in depth) will be selected. Randomization in this study will be achieved using toss of coin method in which periodontal pockets will be designated either control site or test site. PRF will be used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing to treat the test sites. While control sites were treated by scaling and root planing only. Clinal periodontal parameters were recorded and GCF level of PDGF-BB will be measured at baseline and1- and 3- month follow-up visits to evaluate the healing response to the treatment.
