Growth factors are a group of naturally occurring proteins exhibiting varied potent local properties. These molecules are key regulators of such biological events as migration, attachment and proliferation of nearly all cell types. Regeneration of the periodontal tissues is a dynamic process involving cell to cell and cell- extracellular matrix interactions. Growth factors elegantly co-ordinate these interactions resulting in wound healing and regeneration of tissues. The present review discusses various researches available in the literature and enlightens knowledge on various growth factors involved in periodontal repair and regeneration
