Treatment of mandibular Grade II furcation defects using demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft alone or in combination with guided tissue regeneration membrane – A randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background– Periodontal disease, if not interfered, will headway further with attachment loss involving the bifurcation or trifurcation of multirooted teeth. Furcation involved molar teeth respond less favorably to conventional periodontal therapy alone resulting into tooth loss. Combining osseous grafting guided tissue regeneration membrane may enhance response treatment as compared graft – only by achieving mechanical stabilization and preventing micromovement bone material.
 
 Aim & Objective To compare efficacy demineralized freeze-dried allograft in combination mandibular Grade II furcation defects.
 Materials method - In this study a total number 20 patients sites (buccal grade involvement) were evaluated. They divided two groups: Control group (bone only) test + GTR). The clinical parameters assessed vertical probing depth, horizontal depth relative level.
 Results statistical analyses comparing control at baseline revealed no significant differences between groups for any considered. At 6 month evaluation, difference was found regarding VPD, HPD rCAL.
 Conclusion It concluded that there is enhanced effect using DFDBA GTR over
