Growth Factors and Stem Cells

Stem cells and growth factors have been promoted as ways to achieve better outcomes in hard and soft tissue grafting procedures. This Learning Pathway looks at these claims and reviews the evidence in support of the use of stem cells and growth factors in implant surgery applications. This Learning Pathway is based on two Congress Lectures together with a clinical example.

On completion of this Learning Pathway you should be able to…

  • identify the types of stem cell and growth factor products that can be used in implant surgery
  • describe the evidence that supports the use of these materials
  • list the approved applications of stem cell and growth factor products in implant surgery
