BACKGROUND Periodontal disease results in the loss of the attachment apparatus. In the last three decades, an increasing effort has been placed on seeking procedures and materials to promote the regeneration of this tissue. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) during regenerative procedures. In addition, a meta-analysis is presented regarding the cli...

PURPOSE The final goal of regenerative periodontal therapy is to restore the structure and function of the periodontium destroyed or lost due to periodontitis. However, the role of periosteum in periodontal regeneration was relatively neglected while bone repair in the skeleton occurs as a result of a significant contribution from the periosteum. The aim of this study is to understand the histo...

background and aims. plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) is a concentrated suspension of growth factors, which is used to promote periodontal tissue regeneration. the aim of this randomized, controlled, clinical trial was to evaluate of the treatment of grade ii mandibular molar furcation involvement using autogenous bone graft with and without prgf. materials and methods. in this double-blind...

BACKGROUND There are still limited data on the outcomes of regenerative periodontal surgery using a combination of an enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) and autogenous bone (AB). AIM To evaluate the healing of deep intrabony defects treated with either a combination EMD+AB or EMD alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty patients with advanced chronic periodontitis, with one deep intrabony def...

Background: Successful periodontal regeneration is considered a gold standard for periodontists. Several GTR materials and bone grafts have been attempted but showed variable success rates. Objective: The present randomized clinical and radiographic study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) by using equine bioabsorbable collagen membrane with or witho...

background: nanosized ceramics may represent a promising class of bone graft substitutes due to their improved osseointegrative properties. nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (ncha) bind to bone and stimulate bone healing by stimulation of osteoblast activity. the present study aims to explore the clinical and radiographical outcome of ncha bonegraft (sybograf®) with collagen membrane (periocol®), ...

Intrabony periodontal defects are a frequent complication of periodontitis and, if left untreated, may negatively affect long-term tooth prognosis. The optimal outcome of treatment in intrabony defects is considered to be the absence of bleeding on probing, the presence of shallow pockets associated with periodontal regeneration (i.e. formation of new root cementum with functionally orientated ...
