A method for promoting growth of bone, periodontium, ligament, or cartilage in a mammal by applying to the bone, periodontium, ligament, or cartilage a composition comprising platelet-derived growth factor at a concentration in the range of about 0.1 mg/mL to about 1.0 mg/mL in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier and a pharmaceutically-acceptable solid carrier. La présente invention a trait à un procédé pour favoriser la croissance d'os, de parodonte, de ligament, ou de cartilage chez un mammifère par l'application à l'os, au parodonte, au ligament, ou au cartilage d'une composition comportant un facteur de croissance dérivée de plaquettes à une concentration comprise entre environ 0,1 mg/mL et environ 1,0 mg/mL dans un support liquide pharmaceutiquement acceptable et un support solide pharmaceutiquement acceptable.
