The present study describes treatment of intrabony periodontal defects with enamel matrix derivative (EMD) in private practice. Ten patients with clinical diagnosis of chronic periodontitis were subjected to data analysis. A total of 18 teeth with various osseous defects received regenerative therapy with EMD, and were followed for a minimum of 2 years. Treatment of the intrabony defects with E...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The primary goal of periodontal therapy is to restore the tooth supporting tissues lost due to periodontal disease. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of combination of GTR membrane and alloplastc bone graft with open flap debridement (OFD) in treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. METHODS Twenty paired intrabony defects were surgically tre...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of regenerative therapy with a collagenated bone graft and resorbable membrane in intrabony defects, and to evaluate the effects of the novel extracellular matrix (ECM)-based membrane clinically and radiologically. Methods Periodontal tissue regeneration procedure was performed using an ECM-based resorbable membrane in combi...

Background Periodontitis is the common oral condition which affects periodontium of teeth that leads to destruction periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone. Open flap debridement surgical procedure provides access visibility site, application laser as an adjunct has various advantages.
 Objective To compare clinical outcomes after open with or without diode laser.
 Method Patients age...

Background: The ideal result of successful periodontal therapy is regeneration. Guided tissue regeneration considered currently as gold standard for Poor mechanical properties, biomaterials instability and lack biocompatibility regenerative membrane alone led to direct use bioactive materials in defect area. So, this study was intended towards evaluation effectiveness resorbable with molecule c...

In the last decades, Periodontal Regeneration has been one of most discussed topics in Periodontics, attracting attention researchers and clinicians. This can be justified by evident continuous progress observed field, characterized a better understanding biological mechanisms involved, significant improvement operative technical principles, emergence wide range biomaterials available for this ...

Intraosseous migration is an unusual developmental dental anomaly, which demonstrates horizontal movement of unerupted teeth only affecting the permanent dentition of the lower jaw. Mandibular second premolar is the most common impacted tooth after the third molars and maxillary canines. Distal migration of the second premolar is rare and early loss of the permanent first molar is one of the mo...

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...
