Comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of concentrated growth factor alone and in combination with diode laser application in the treatment of intrabony periodontal defects: A clinical and radiographic split-mouth study.

Background: Applying autologous growth factors and diode laser in periodontal therapy enhances fibroblast-mediated new attachment and osteoblastic differentiation. Hence, this study compared and evaluated the effectiveness of concentrated growth factor (CGF) alone and with diode laser application in managing intrabony periodontal defects.

Methods: Ten patients with stage III periodontitis were included in this study.

Zimmermann-Laband syndrome-associated hereditary gingival fibromatosis.

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is an uncommon slow-growing fibrous overgrowth characterized by connective tissue accumulation. It presents as an isolated feature or as a manifestation of any syndrome. Various syndromes associated with HGF are inherited by autosomal dominant/recessive/X-linked traits.
