OBJECTIVE To use the periosteum as a barrier in treatment of buccal Grade II furcation defects of lower molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS This technique was performed on 12 patients with bilateral buccal Grade II furcation defects of lower molars. On a random basis, one furcation defect of each pair was selected for the control group and other for the experimental group. Debridement was done in t...

BACKGROUND Multirooted teeth offer unique and challenging problems due to the furcation area, creates situations in which routine periodontal procedures are somewhat limited and special procedures are generally required. CASE DETAIL The present case was showing the management of grade II furcation defect by platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and β-Tricalcium phosphate with coronally advanced flap. ...

The treatment of furcation defects is a complex and difficult task that may compromise the success of periodontal therapy. Here we report a new clinical treatment of a Class II furcation defect using an autogenous bone graft associated with a buccal fat pad (BFP) used as a membrane. The surgical treatment was performed following initial periodontal therapy. Post-operative follow-up appointments...

UNLABELLED The use of bone replacement grafts with barrier membranes in class II furcation defects are aimed at improving the outcome of the regenerative technique. In this regard, however, there is a paucity of studies comparing the results obtained with bone grafts alone or in combination with barrier membranes. The aim of this study was to clinically compare an anorganic bovine bone graft pl...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to compare the putty form of bioactive glass (NovaBone Dental Putty) and particulate form (PerioGlas) in the resolution of Class II furcation defects. BACKGROUND Use of bone regeneration materials is becoming common in periodontal surgeries including furcation defects and the promising role of bioactive allograft materials has encouraged their presenta...

the purpose of the present randomized clinical trial study was to compare the effectiveness of bovine porous bone mineral (bpbm) with and without plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) in the treatment of mandibular class ii furcation defects.in seven patients, nine pairs of symmetric buccal or lingual mandibular class ii furcation defects were treated. in each patient, one defect received bpbm (...

The aim of this study was to compare the c...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the healing of class III furcation defects following transplantation of proliferating tissue derived from periodontal ligament (pPDL). Two weeks after removing alveolar bone, pPDL was excised. Class III furcation defects were created in the mandibular premolars. pPDL was transplanted into the furcation defects in the experimental group, while no treatment w...
