Comparison Between Bioactive Silica Graft Plus Platelet Rich Fibrin and Only Platelet Rich Fibrin Graft in Intrabony Defects With Diabetes

Platelet rich fibrin has emerged as one of the promising regenerative material.It is a second generation platelet concentrate and is defined as an autologous leucocyte-and platelet-rich fibrin biomaterial.Platelet-rich fibrin membrane consists of a fibrin 3-D polymerized matrix in a specific structure ,with the incorporation of almost all the platelets and more than half of leucocytes along with growth factors.It enhance the stabilization and revascularization of the flaps and grafts.

Bioactive silica graft (Novabone dental putty )is being used for regenerative procedures is a premixed composite of bioactive calcium -phospho-silicate particulate which is composed solely of elements that exist naturally in normal bone (ca,p,na,si,o) and an absorbable binder which is a combination of polyethylene glycol and glycerine.Treatment of intrabony defects with bioactive silica graft has led to clinically and statistically significant probing depth reduction ,relative attachment level gain and radiographic osseous defect fill.
