Peranan growth factors pada perawatan periodontitis
G Growth factor adalah suatu istilah umum yang digunakan untuk menunjukkan suatu jenis protein alami yang berfiingsi merangsang mitogenesis, migrasi serta aktivitas sel yang berhubungan dengan metabolisme. Growth factor berfungsi untuk perbaikan dan regenerasi jaringan periodontal. Suatu kombinasi growth factor lebih efektif merangsang proses regenerasi dibandingkan growth factor tunggal. Kombinasi Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) dan insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), penting untuk pembentukan tulang dan sementum baru. PDGF dan transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) dikenal sebagai Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). Sekarang ini penggunaan PRP sebagai suatu kombinasi growth factor memberikan suatu keuntungan pada regenerasi jaringan periodontal.
G Growth factor is a general term used to denote a class of naturally occurring proteins that function in the body to promote mitogenesis, directed migration and metabolic activity of cells. Growth factor to mediate repair and regeneration the periodontium. A combination of growth factor may more effectively stimulate these diverse processes of regeneration than single growth factor. Combination platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), significant amounts of newly formed bone and new sementum. PDGF and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) are known to be abundant in the alfa granules of platelets. Currently the use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) into a bone graft combination showed a significant gain in periodontal regeneration. It is probable that, it’s used to promote periodontal regeneration.
