Brief Summary

The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) mixed with b tricalcium phosphate (BTCP) for the treatment of advanced periodontal osseous defects at 6 months of healing.

Detailed Description

This triple blind, prospective and parallel arm trial was conducted in subjects requiring surgical treatment of a periodontal osseous defect.
