Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effectiveness of adding 1% metformin to demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) in treating intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis.
- 20 sites were evaluated, with 10 receiving DFDBA alone and 10 receiving DFDBA with metformin, showing significant improvements in clinical parameters over 9 months for both treatments.
- However, there were no significant differences between the two groups, indicating that metformin does not provide additional benefits over DFDBA alone for periodontal regeneration.
Concentrated growth factor (CGF) is a newer form of autologous platelet concentrate with an extra fibrin matrix and more growth factors than that observed with platelet-rich fibrin, due to its different centrifugation process. This case series evaluates the early wound healing with CGF membrane as a periodontal bandage after depigmentation. Three individuals were selected for a split-mouth study.

Background: The platelet concentrates had been pioneered to be used in regenerative medicine since above a decade.
Aims And Objectives: To compare the autologous platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and titanium prepared platelet rich fibrin (T-PRF) in the treatment of infrabony defects, clinically and radiographically and to compare the histologic difference between PRF and T-PRF by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Materials And Methods: The present study is a split mouth randomised controlled trial study in which 20 sites were selected and randomly assigned equally into 10 sites each in group A [Test group=T-PRF] and group B [Control group=PRF].
