Abstract
Disclosed is a method for the regeneration of tissue, the treatment of external wounds and the treatment of periodontal disease comprising applying to the affected tissue an effective amount of a composition comprised of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and an anti-inflammatory compound. The presence of the anti-inflammatory compound potentiates the activity of PDGF in stimulating cell growth, thereby enhancing tissue regeneration and/or wound healing.
