Treatment of Intrabony Periodontal Defects With Platelet‐Rich Plasma Versus Platelet‐Poor Plasma Combined With a Bovine‐Derived Xenograft: A Controlled Clinical Trial

Background: The purpose of this study is to assess the healing outcomes of intrabony defects after treatment with platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) versus platelet‐poor plasma (PPP) combined with bovine‐derived xenograft (BDX). Methods: Using a split‐mouth design, a total of 79 intrabony defects with an intrabony component of ≥3 mm in 20 patients were treated either with PRP/BDX (group 1) or PPP/BDX (group 2). At baseline and 12 months after surgery,...
