Periodontal regeneration by application of chemical root conditioning to intrabony defects utilizing bioresorbable membrane: a comparative study.

BACKGROUND To improve and combat the limitations of healing capacity of periodontal tissues, quite a few research methods have evaluated the benefits of GTR inflection by root surface conditioning agents. OBJECTIVE To assess the periodontal regeneration by utilizing the bioresorbable membrane in the intrabony defects with and without the use of TTC-HCl root conditioning. STUDY DESIGN A case-control study. SETTING Department of Periodontics, Subharti Dental College, Meerut Uttar Pradesh, India. PARTICIPANTS 20 patients. SAMPLING Random sampling. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS SPSS 10 was used for Data entry and statistical analysis. Unpaired student "t" test was applied. RESULTS Comparison of the values of Probing depth (PD) and osseous fill of the defect (OF) between Group A and Group B patients at baseline and at 6 months, a decline in the values of PD and OF after the treatment were observed. Intergroup comparison of the treatment outcomes on PD and OF revealed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION It was concluded that use of GTR technique with the TTC-HCl root conditioning does not improve the results in terms of PD and bone regeneration.
