background: bone loss is one of the hallmarks of periodontitis. hence, a major focus of research into periodontal regeneration has concentrated on the initiation of osteogenesis. osteoinduction requires the differentiation of mesenchymal cells into osteoblasts with subsequent formation of new bone. the present study has been carried out to evaluate periodontal bone regeneration in intrabony def...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of open flap debridement (OFD) with a biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) graft to that of OFD without BCP graft for the treatment of intrabony periodontal defects (IBDs). METHODS The study included 25 subjects that had at least one intrabony defect of 2- or 3-wall morphology and an intrabony component≥4 mm as detected radiographi...

The chief goal of combination therapy using guided tissue regeneration along with bone grafts is to optimally and predictably regenerate the periodontal attachment apparatus. The evolution of regenerative therapy along with careful patient selection and treatment planning can have positive results even in cases which are not ideal. The present case report describes a tooth with a questionable p...

Mandibular bone depression, also known as Stafne bone cavity, is defined as a bone depression filled mainly with salivary gland tissue. Parotid gland bone defects are infrequently observed. We report the case of a 52-year-old male patient who underwent radiographic examinations due to temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and a radiolucent area was detected in the mandibular ramus, with a provis...

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the histological and clinical outcomes intrabony defects treatment using regenerative periodontal therapy with enamel matrix proteins (Emdogain, EMD). Material And Method:Ten patients chronic periodontitis were included in randomized, controlled study. Two groups received conservative therapy. In test group, different teeth EMD. control group only...

UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to assess the predictability of probing attachment gain and probing pocket depth reduction following Emdogain treatment at sites with deep angular bone defects. MATERIAL AND METHODS 108 consecutively-treated periodontal patients (mean age 55.8 years) were included. Each subject exhibited at least 1 deep interproximal intrabony defect that could be i...

The aim of the present clinical trial was to compare the long-term effect of EMDOGAIN treatment as an adjunct to modified widman flap (MWF) surgery with the effect of MWF and placebo treatment. The investigation was a placebo-controlled, randomized multicenter trial involving 33 subjects with 34 paired test and control sites. The protocol required 2 interproximal sites, appropriately separated,...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the combination therapy of deep intrabony periodontal defects using an Er:YAG laser (ERL) and enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) to scaling and root planing+ ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)+EMD. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-two patients with chronic periodontitis, each of whom displayed 1 intrabony defect, were randomly treated ...
