There was a greater decrease in gingival index and PD and more CAL gain with significant IBD fill at sites treated with SRP plus locally delivered SMV in patients with chronic periodontitis.
Within the limit of the present study, there was greater reduction in PD, more CAL gain and greater intra-bony defect fill at sites treated with PRF than the open flap debridement alone.
Within the limitation of this study, significant improvement with autologous PRF implies its role as a regenerative material in the treatment of furcation defects.
Within the limits of the present study, there was greater PD reduction, PAL gain, and bone fill at sites treated with PRF with conventional open-flap debridement compared to conventional open-flap debridement alone. However, a long-term, multicentered randomized controlled clinical trial is required to know the clinical and radiographic effects of PRF on bone regeneration.
Within the limit of the present study, there was similar PD reduction, CAL gain, and bone fill at sites treated with PRF or PRP with conventional open-flap debridement. Because PRF is less time consuming and less technique sensitive, it may seem a better treatment option than PRP. However, long-term, multicenter randomized, controlled clinical trials will be required to know their clinical and radiographic effects on bone regeneration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
