BACKGROUND Regenerative techniques help promote the formation of new attachment and bone filling in periodontal defects. However, the dimensions of intraosseous defects are a key determinant of periodontal regeneration outcomes. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of use of anorganic bovine bone (ABB) graft in combination with collagen membrane (CM), to facilitate healing of noncontained (...

Introduction: Most periodontal treatments aim to reduce probing depths and maintaining or improving attachment. One of these techniques for treatment of intrabony defects is guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The aim of this study was to compare one-wall intrabony defects treatment with GTR and flap debridement alone. Methods: Eight patients aged 32-43 years participated in this randomized contr...

periodontal regeneration in a one-wall intrabony defect is a challenging and complex phenomenon. the combination therapy of commercially available bone grafts with the innovative tissue engineering strategy, the platelet rich plasma, has emerged as a promising grafting modality for two and three walled intrabony osseous defects. the application of this combination approach was attempted in a mo...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of a bovine hydroxyapatite/collagen (BHC) block in one-wall intrabony periodontal defects in dogs. METHODS A one-wall intrabony periodontal defect (4 mm wide and 5 mm deep) was prepared bilaterally at the mesial side of the mandibular fourth premolar in five beagle dogs. After thorough root planing, block-type BHC (4×5×5 mm) was placed...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of autogenous bone graft (ABG) and nano-crystalline hydroxyapatite (Ostim) in the management of human intrabony periodontal defects. STUDY DESIGN Twenty-four similar two and three wall intrabony periodontal defects with ≥5 mm probing depths and ≥3 mm depths of intrabony component in 12 healthy patients were selected. One def...

PURPOSE To prolong the degradation time of collagen membranes, various cross-linking techniques have been developed. For cross-linking, chemicals such as formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde are added to collagen membranes, but these chemicals could adversely affect surrounding tissues. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of porous non-chemical cross-linking porcine-derived collagen nan...

BACKGROUND Regenerative periodontal therapy aims to predictably restore the tooth's supporting periodontal tissues and should result in formation of a new connective tissue attachment (i.e. new cementum with inserting periodontal ligament fibres) and new alveolar bone. Histologic evidence from preclinical models has demonstrated periodontal regeneration following treatment with barrier membrane...

background and aims. complete and predictable regeneration of tissue lost as a result of infection or trauma is the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy. various graft materials have been successfully used in the treatment of intrabony defects. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (cerabone) with the autogenous bone graft as a gold stand...
