Abstract

After 9 months, the test group exhibited a greater amount of bone fill compared to the control group.

  • A significant decrease in probing pocket depth (PPD) and an increase in clinical attachment level (CAL) were observed in both treatment groups compared to baseline measurements.
  • Modest enhancements in attachment level occurred in the test group receiving the combination of bioactive glass and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF).
  • Bioactive glass supports bone regeneration by enhancing the formation of a mineralized extracellular matrix and aiding osteoblast function.
  • Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) may influence cellular processes involved in periodontal regeneration due to its growth factors and leukocytes.
  • The combination treatment of bioactive glass and PRF is associated with improved clinical and radiographic outcomes for treating intrabony defects.
