Abstract
The various roles played by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in a multitude of tissues and at different scenarios have rendered BDNF a favorable candidate for improving tissue regeneration. Although the tested formulations of BDNF quantitatively regenerate tissue to a level similar to control groups, it resulted in significantly more instances of full regeneration.
Keywords:
BDNF; brain-derived neurotrophic factor; collagen sponge; emdogain; periodontal regeneration.
