Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of β tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) particle size on recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB)-induced regeneration of periodontal tissue in dog. The control group (rhPDGF-BB alone) was characterized by incomplete, newly formed bone. The large-particle β-TCP (L-TCP(O))/rhPDGF-BB group showed a statistically significant increase in both new bone and cementum formation compared to the small-particle β-TCP (S-TCP(G))/rhPDGF-BB group. These findings suggest that L-TCP(O)-particle promotes rhPDGF-BB-induced formation of bone and cementum.
