Enhancing the biological potential of mesenchymal stem cells within periodontal ligament and stimulating the periodontal regeneration are recognized as being clinically possible. Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF-2), one of the well-known cytokines, stimulates the proliferation, migration and differentiation of a variety of cell types and strongly induces angiogenesis. We carried out a series of animal studies and revealed that topical application of FGF-2 into experimentally-prepared intrabony defects significantly stimulated the periodontal regeneration accompanying new attachment.
