Abstract

Nowadays, there are a lot of articles about blood-derived growth factors (BDGF) using different protocols. These blood by-products have many applications in Medicine, especially in Dentistry. The most important thing is the use of an autologous biomaterial, from the patient's own blood to improve healing, soft tissue growth, hemostasis etc.[1-5] Many dental surgeons use BDGF in their surgical protocols, which is possible to observe in scientific articles,[1-4] dentistry congresses and especially on social media (although the last is unethical way to share and publish research results or cases reports).
