Comparative Evaluation of Concentrated Growth Factor and Platelet-rich Fibrin on Healing of Periapical Lesions using Cone Beam Computed Tomography - An

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: In recent years, platelet concentrates have been extensively researched for bone regeneration. Aim: The aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate and compare bone regeneration potential in periapical lesions using concentrated growth factor (CGF) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Materials and Methods: Twenty subjects with periapical lesions measuring 10-20 mm in relation to maxillary and mandibular incisors indicated for periapical surgery were selected. Preoperative bone density values at the periapical region were measured using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Root canal treatment was completed appropriately in all cases. Under adequate local anesthesia, periapical surgery was performed. The 20 subjects were randomly divided into two groups with 10 subjects in each group. Group I: Periapical bone defect filled with PRF and Group II: Periapical bone defect filled with CGF. The mucoperiosteal flaps were repositioned and sutured. Bone density evaluation of the periapical region was done 6 months and 1 year after surgery using CBCT. The Hounsfield unit values obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using an independent samples Results: In Group I and Group II, a statistically significant difference was observed at the end of 6 months and 1 year, when compared to the preoperative bone density values. There was no statistically significant difference in bone density values between the PRF and CGF groups at both 6 months and 1-year postoperative observation periods. Conclusion: PRF and CGF were equally effective in promoting bone regeneration and can be considered a valuable option for the enhancement of healing in periapical bone defects.
