Recent developments in research have been based on the maintenance and regeneration of natural organs and tissues; among such developments is the use of growth factors (GFs). The use of basic fibroblastic growth factors ( bFGF ) may be indicated in different disciplines of dentistry such as periodontics and dental traumatology. These cells' ability to induce proliferation and differentiation of cells may make GFs a useful source for the development of natural structures. This mini‐review will discuss how bFGF can be beneficial to dentistry in relation to 1) re‐implantation/autotransplantation of avulsed teeth and 2) periodontal regeneration.
