Background: The purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of prebiotic fructooligosaccharide (FOS) mixture and probiotic () when administered subgingivally as a supplement to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. In addition, the N benzoyl DL arginine naphthylamide (BANA) test was used to examine the impact of probiotics on red complex organisms.

Materials And Methods: Twenty systemically healthy participants with chronic periodontitis, with at least two periodontal pockets in each quadrant exhibiting probing depth (PD) ≥5 mm and clinical attachment level (CAL) ≥3 mm, participated in this split-mouth randomized controlled research.

Background: Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) is prepared without anticoagulants having improved features such as increased fibroblast migration, proliferation, and tissue angiogenesis acceleration. When administered to titanium implants, i-PRF clings to the metal surface, generating a protein coating that impacts cellular activity required for osseointegration which aids in optimum and rapid osseointegration. The present study compared and evaluated the osteogenic properties of i-PRF in dental implant sites to determine the positive impact of i-PRF on osseointegration.

Background: The ultimate goal of furcation defect therapy is furcation closure periodontal regeneration. However, the process of periodontal regeneration is affected by the regenerative environment of signaling molecules and growth factors due to which consistent findings of complete furcation closure could not be attained. In this study, we have evaluated the use of concentrated growth factor (CGF) which provides sustained release growth factors in conjunction with bovine-derived xenograft anorganic bovine bone (ABB) in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) of Degree II mandibular molar furcation defect.
