The present study was designed to comparatively evaluate the effect of G.T.R. with or without tetracycline root conditioning in the treatment of intrabony defects using a resorbable membrane. To achieve these aims, the following objectives were followed: Evaluation of pre surgical probing depths (PD) and it’s comparison post operatively. Comparison of the clinical attachment levels (CAL) pre su...

OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this study was to compare clinically and radiographically the efficacy of autologous platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and autogenous bone graft (ABG) obtained using bone scrapper in the treatment of intrabony periodontal defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight intrabony defects (IBDs) were treated with either open flap debridement (OFD) with PRF or OFD with AB...

abstract: background: statins are the recently evolved agents that aid in periodontal regeneration and ultimately attaining periodontal health. atorvastatin (atv) and simvastatin (smv) are specific competitive inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme a reductase. the present study was designed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of 1.2% atv, and 1.2% smv as an adjunct to scaling...

The purpose of this study was the histomorphologic analysis of the efficacy of bioactive glass particles with a narrow size range (Biogran) in the periodontal healing of 2-wall intrabony defects in monkeys. The 2-wall defects were made in the mesial area of the left and right second premolars of four monkeys, filled with gutta-percha and, after 15 days, they were debrided and either naturally f...

Background. Statins are the recently evolved agents that aid in periodontal regeneration and ultimately in attaining periodontal health. Atorvastatin (ATV) and Simvastatin (SMV) are specific competitive inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase. The current study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of 1.2% ATV and 1.2% SMV, in addition to scaling and root planing (SR...

Introduction: Most periodontal treatments aim to reduce probing depths and maintaining or improving attachment. One of these techniques for treatment of intrabony defects is guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The aim of this study was to compare one-wall intrabony defects treatment with GTR and flap debridement alone. Methods: Eight patients aged 32-43 years participated in this randomized contr...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to compare clinical effects of two different membranes (palatal connective tissue and collagen) in combination with bio-oss in the treatment of intrabony defects. materials and methods. fifteen patients who had at least a pair of intrabony defects with an attachment loss of ≥5 mm and an initial osseous defect depth of ≥3 mm participated in this stu...

Traditional approaches for salvaging peri-odontally involved teeth have faced the test of whether or not the treatment modalities can guarantee tooth survival for more than a couple of decades. This challenge stems from the most recent encouraging reports of a success rate of over 15 years of implant therapy to treat partial edentulism. The main criticism of traditional periodontal therapy targ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of 15% chitosan in gel form as a periodontal regenerative material in the periodontal intrabony defects. METHODS A pilot study split-mouth design of 10 patients within the age group of 30 to 55 years with bilateral intrabony defects ≥ 3mm and clinical attachment levels (CAL) ≥ 5mm were selected. The test site received open flap debridement with 15% Chit...
