Abstract

The therapeutic objective of utilizing growth factors in oral surgery is to improve upon the body's regenerative capacity. In many situations, the unaided regeneration process is insufficient to allow complete repair of both bone and soft tissues. This article presents two clinical cases that describe different applications of growth-factor preparation applied at the surgical site in order to stimulate regeneration of osseous and epithelial tissues. Both clinical cases demonstrate the therapeutic effectiveness of utilizing the described technique for the incorporation of plasma-rich growth factors as an adjuvant in regenerative procedure.
