Autologous platelet concentrates (APC) + guided tissue regeneration (GTR) vs GTR (guided tissue regeneration) alone
Change in probing pocket depth (PPD) · Patients affected by infrabony defects requiring surgical treatment, regardless of their age or gender
It is very uncertain whether autologous platelet concentrates (APC) + guided tissue regeneration… changes change in probing depth (PD) (mm) compared with GTR (guided tissue regeneration) alone (very low certainty).
