3. GDC
Α-granules
• At least 7 different growth factors
that stimulate bone & soft tissue
healing
• PDGF
• TGF
• VEGF
• EGF
4. GDC
Α-granules
• Do not contain insulin-like growth factors nor
BMP
• Adhesion molecule
fibronectin
vitronectin
fibrin
5. GDC
The role of PLT in wound healing
• Injury
• PLT activation
• Within 10 min, granule migrate
to the cell membrane surface
and secrete growth factors
( inactive)
7. GDC
7 days later
• PLT exhausted after 7 days
• Macrophage by low oxygen
tension, acidity, lactate
concentration
• Secrete same growth factors
• Activated until it is down regulated
by the restoration of normal
oxygen tension
9. GDC
17days
• Graft is completely permeated by
new capillaries
• Initial osteoid formation
• Osteoclast resorb osteoid and BMP
released
• New bone formation and
maturation
12. GDC
PDGF(pletelet-derived growth factors)
• PDGF
• Promoting angiogenesis,
re-epithelization,formation of
granulation tissue
• Chemotaxis for mesenchymal
cell,monocyte,neutrophiles
13. GDC
TGF(transforming growth factor)
• TGF
• Stimulate cell replication
similar to PDGF
• Stimulate matrix
production and guide
differentiation towards
cartilage or bone
20. GDC
• 4~7 times above a concentration of platelets
than peripheral blood plates level
• Bone mineral density 1.6~2,2 times increased
• Rapid bone formation & earlier maturation.
29. GDC
Mechanism
• Growth factors contained PRP stimulated
complete revascularization earlier and more
complete
• Early epithelial covering of exposed
granulation tissue and C.T, the development of
dermis is the mechanism that reduced scarring
and a maximum regeneration of normal skin
pigmentation
