AIM This randomized clinical trial compares the usefulness of adjunctive antibiotics, while strict asepsis was followed during periodontal surgery involving guided tissue regeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two groups of 20 consecutive patients each with advanced periodontal disease were randomly assigned to treatment. They displayed one angular defect each with an intrabony component ≥3 mm, ...

V arious therapeutic procedures have been designed to promote new attachment and regeneration of periodontal tissues lost in periodontal disease. New attachment may be defined as the formation of a new cementum with inserting extrinsic collagen fibres occurring on a root surface deprived of its periodontal ligament, whether or not this has occurred because of periodontal disease or by mechanica...

Tissue engineering in the orofacial region with bioactive components by activation of immune complexes or other proteins is current focus biomaterials research. Consequently, natural ground materials and tissue are being created. Bioactive glass one most promising has properties making it suited for a range different clinical dental applications, including regeneration hard tissues craniofacial...

background and aims. a combination of guided tissue regeneration (gtr), bovine porous bone mineral (bpbm), and platelet rich plasma has been already applied for the regeneration of intrabony defects. the aim of this study was to determine the role of plasma rich in growth factor (prgf) alone in the periodontal regeneration of intrabony defects in humans as compared with bpbm/gtr technique. mate...

Diplen-Gam (DG) is a novel absorbable guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane. This study was designed to evaluate the capacity of bone repair of DG compared with that of Bio-Gide (BG). Critical size defects were created in both sides of the calcarium of 36 Sprague-Dawley rats. Defects were assigned to six groups and each group was subjected to one of the following treatments: (A1) unfilled def...

A good barrier membrane is one of the important factors for effective guided bone/tissue regeneration (GBR/GTR) in case periodontal bone defects. Several methods are being discussed to overcome and improve shortcomings commercially available membranes. One coat with bioactive materials. In this study, 41 studies related coated membranes GBR/GTR published last 5 years were reviewed. These report...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to test whether or not implants associated with bone regeneration show the same survival and success rates as implants placed in native bone in patients requiring both forms of therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-four patients (median age of 60.3 years, range 18-77.7 years) had been treated 5 years before the follow-up examination. Machined screw-type implan...
