Plasma Rich in Growth Factors in Post-extraction Sockets

May 9, 2026 updated by: Pablo Galindo-Moreno, Universidad de Granada

Clinical Behavior and Molecular Pathways of PRGF in Post-extraction Sockets

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical success, radiographical volume maintenance and histological bone regeneration after using either a bovine bone xenograft or an autogenous platelet rich plasma enrich in growth factors, known as Endoret®-PRGF®.
