Brief Summary

Various graft materials have been successfullyused in the treatment of intrabony defects. The materials most commonly usedhave been autografts and allografts. Growth factors are bioactive proteinswhich regulate a variety of cellular processes. Concentrated Growth Factors(CGF) was first developed by Sacco (2006), is a relatively new technologywithin the area of regenerative medicine. CGF is an advanced second generationplatelet concentrate, obtained with differential continuous centrifugaltechnology, containing many kinds of growth factors and fibrins, and able tofacilitate the recovery of soft and hard tissues. CGF is different fromplatelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the methods forproduction because no additives are added during its production. CGF has ahigher adhesive strength, tensile strength, higher viscosity than the otherplatelet preparations. CGF has a difference in centrifugation speed whichpermits the isolation of much larger and denser fibrin matrix richer in growthfactors. CGF is a fibrin rich organic matrix which contains growth factors,platelets, leukocytes and CD34+ stem cells which help in the process ofregeneration and also has immunological cells that are effective in regulatinginflammation and minimizing the risk of infection. (CGF) is a biologicalinducing material which improves the quality of the formed bone, andfacilitates the formation of bones and the healing of tissues.

Therefore, the present study will be undertaken to evaluate theeffectiveness of Concentrated growth factor and PRF alone for the treatment ofinfrabony defects in humans
