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. After surgical depigmentation, the test site received CGF membrane. Both groups were covered by a periodontal pack. Participants were assessed on the 3 and 5 days using a Visual Analog Scale and a Healing Index. Epithelization test was done with toluidine blue on the 5 day and tissue samples were taken for histological evaluation. The application of CGF membrane showed better healing and lesser inflammatory cells. Thus, a CGF membrane is helpful in protecting the raw wound region of depigmented sites, improving patient comfort, and for better healing.

The European Medicine Agency has approved canagliflozin (CGF) drug to improve glycemic control in patients with type II diabetes. Our study aimed to enhance the solubility and pharmacokinetics of canagliflozin. Since crystalline canagliflozin is insoluble in water, its absolute bioavailability is less than 65%.

Objectives: To assess the differences between adjunctive therapy with Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF), Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF) membranes, and available control groups in the clinical outcomes of root coverage.

Materials And Methods: Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) were identified in Pubmed/Medline, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science databases to assess the treatments after 6 months using a Bayesian random-effect network meta-analysis (NMA) framework regarding reduction in pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), recession depth (RD), and width (RW), as well as, keratinized tissue width (KTW) and thickness (KTT) gain, and complete (CRC) and mean (MRC) root coverage percentages.

Results: Thirty-two RCTs were included, from which 27, 18, 12, eight, one, and one studies investigated PRF, connective tissue graft (CTG), flap alone, CGF, enamel matrix derivative (EMD), and dehydrated amniotic membrane, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • The case report discusses the application of concentrated growth factor (CGF) to improve healing after a 57-year-old woman's endodontic periapical surgery for chronic abscesses.
  • CGF, an advanced autologous platelet concentrate, is highlighted for its superior healing properties over older techniques like platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin, due to its natural composition.
  • Follow-up evaluations showed significant healing at six months and one year post-surgery, suggesting CGF's effectiveness as a supportive treatment in challenging dental procedures.

Article Synopsis
  • * Four patients underwent treatment using CGF obtained from their own blood, followed by sealing with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and temporization with glass ionomer cement.
  • * Results showed three patients were asymptomatic with normal radiographic findings, but one experienced severe discomfort, highlighting the need for further studies to confirm CGF's effectiveness in treating pulpitis in permanent teeth.

As they release and enhance numerous areas for regeneration signaling and maintenance, platelets are energy sources with a wealth of growth factors (GFs). To create sticky bone (SB), concentrated GF (CGF), one of the platelet generations, was combined with a bone transplant. The purpose of this study was to determine how concentrated SB development affects bone density and volume surrounding dental implants.
