Abstract
In the treatment of periodontal intraosseous defects the application of rhPDGF-BB/β-TCP improved all outcomes when compared to β-TCP at 6 months follow-up. Either rhPDGF-BB/β-TCP or rhGDF-5/β-TCP seemed to provide similar results in terms of probing pocket depth (PPD) reduction and clinical attachment level (CAL) gain. The application of rhGDF-5/β-TCP resulted in a more pronounced reduction in gingival recession (GR) depth at 6 months follow-up compared to rhPDGF-BB/β-TCP.
