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, ...

Periodontal plastic surgical techniques have evolved to meet the demands of today's dental patient. Free gingival grafts (FGGs), pedicle flaps, subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTGs), acellular dermal matrix (ADM) grafts, and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) have all been used to cover denuded root surfaces. FGGs have demonstrated inconsistent results. Pedicle flaps have provided consis...

articular cartilage, the load-bearing tissue of the joint, has limited repair and regeneration ability. the scarcity of treatment modalities for large chondral defects has motivated researchers to engineer cartilage tissue constructs that can meet the functional demands of this tissue in vivo. cartilage tissue engineering requires 3 components: cells, scaffold, and environment. owning to their ...

Introduction: Periodontal regenerative therapy goals are to prevent and repair the soft hard tissue that has been damaged by infection. The membrane used as a material of periodontal therapy. Resorbable non-resorbable membranes were physical barriers avoiding growth connective epithelial into defect area. This review will be discussed about new development materials for Guided Tissue Regenerati...

Lateral periodontal cyst (LPC), originated from epithelial rests in the periodontal ligament, is a noninflammatory cyst on the lateral surface of the root of a vital tooth. LPC is generally asymptomatic and presents a round or oval uniform lucency with well-defined borders radiographically. In this case report, clinical, histological and radiographical findings and periodontal treatment of 32-y...

OBJECTIVES Several procedures have been advocated as regenerative procedures in periodontology, but one of the most widely used techniques up to now is guided tissue regeneration (GTR). Likewise, different assessment methods based on clinical, radiographic or histological measurements have been proposed for the evaluation of these regenerative procedures. However, none of the methods used for h...

Progressive alveolar bone resorption after tooth extraction may lead to surgical and prosthetic-driven difficulties, especially when deciding to use a dental implant to replace the extracted tooth. This case report discusses an irreparable lower left second premolar tooth with a periodontal lesion on the buccal side. A preservative tooth extraction was performed. Then, the socket was grafted wi...
