Introduction: Different platelet concentrates such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), and concentrated growth factor (CGF) are used for reconstruction of bone defects. CGFs are created by centrifuging blood tests at rotating and controlled rates utilizing an uncommon rotator. CGF has demonstrated a high regeneration due to osteoinductive platelet factors and osteoconductive fibrin network. Aim: The ai of the study was to evaluate the awareness of CGF among dentists.
