Growth Factor Applied to Oral and Regenerative Surgery

Abstract

The complex tissue engineering/regenerative medicine now represents a therapeutic reality applicable to various organic substrates, with the aim of repairing deficient tissues and restoring normal organ function. Among the possible specialized uses, in the dental field, the treatment of periodontal, pre- and peri-implant bone defects should be mentioned. Nowadays, in oral surgery, there are many surgical methods that can be used, despite that the literature still seems controversial regarding the actual advantages of their use. Surely, this work will bring to light the current clinical-surgical orientations and the different perspectives.
