Cohort 1 compared Group A (no PRGF\/GTR;\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200924) with Group B (PRGF only;\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200930); Cohort 2 compared Group C (Bio\u2010Gide membrane;\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200928) with Group D (PRGF + Bio\u2010Gide;\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200926); and Cohort 3 compared Group E (Bio\u2010Gide + Bio\u2010Oss graft;\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200927) with Group F (PRGF + Bio\u2010Gide + Bio\u2010Oss;\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200926). Sub\u2010group analysis was performed for large lesions (>\u20095\u2009mm) in Cohort 3. Soft tissue healing quality, clinical attachment loss and treatment outcome, based on clinical and radiographic healing, were assessed during suture removal and at 12 and 24 months follow\u2010ups. Additionally, postoperative signs and symptoms, analgesics need, further intervention, adverse effects and quality of life were also evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed with Pearson's chi\u2010square or Fisher's exact tests (significance threshold,\n \u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n In Cohort 1, PRGF significantly improved soft tissue healing at suture removal (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.013; Group B: 100.0% v. Group A: 79.2%). In Cohort 2, combining PRGF with Bio\u2010Gide significantly reduced the analgesic need, adverse effects and impact on quality of life at suture removal (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001), and preserved clinical attachment at 12\u2009months (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001) and 24\u2009months (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.012). For Cohort 3 and large lesions, PRGF had no significant association with any clinical or radiographic outcomes at any stage (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009>\u20090.050).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The benefits of PRGF in endodontic surgery were dependent on the GTR used. When used alone early soft tissue healing was improved, and when combined with a collagen membrane, short\u2010term adverse effects and impact on quality of life were reduced, while maintaining clinical attachment levels. When performed to an optimal technical standard, the advantages of using PRGF and GTR were limited.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/iej.70280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,25]],"date-time":"2026-09-25T07:46:31Z","timestamp":1790322391000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Use of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors With Guided Tissue Regeneration in Surgical Endodontics\u2014A Retrospective Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-7790-1348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Chountala","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry Queen Mary University of London London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Billis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry Queen Mary University of London London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8678-4648","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pratik Kamalkant","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry Queen Mary University of London London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bun San","family":"Chong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry Queen Mary University of London London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.3390\/app9051035","article-title":"PRGF\u2010Modified Collagen Membranes for Guided Bone Regeneration: Spectroscopic, Microscopic, and Nano\u2010Mechanical Investigations","volume":"9","author":"Anitua E.","year":"2019","journal-title":"Applied Sciences"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"281","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bdj.2014.220","article-title":"Endodontic Surgery","volume":"216","author":"Chong B.
