AIM The aim of this retrospective analysis was to assess healing of intrabony defects treated with minimally invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST). METHODS A retrospective analysis was carried out in 35 consecutive intrabony defects treated by MINST (without any adjuncts) in 23 non-smoking patients. All defects had a radiographic intrabony component > 3 mm and had clinical and radiographic da...

Periodontal regeneration in a one-wall intrabony defect is a challenging and complex phenomenon. The combination therapy of commercially available bone grafts with the innovative tissue engineering strategy, the platelet rich plasma, has emerged as a promising grafting modality for two and three walled intrabony osseous defects. The application of this combination approach was attempted in a mo...

BACKGROUND Regenerative techniques help promote the formation of new attachment and bone filling in periodontal defects. However, the dimensions of intraosseous defects are a key determinant of periodontal regeneration outcomes. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of use of anorganic bovine bone (ABB) graft in combination with collagen membrane (CM), to facilitate healing of noncontained (...

OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) measurements and direct measurements during the surgery to correct intrabony defects. METHODS Forty-four patients with 44 intrabony defects who finished initial periodontal therapy and were considered for periodontal surgery were recruited. Digital periapical radiography and CBCT was performed before the surger...

statement of problem: digital measurement of rvg may improve diagnostic interpretation of radiographs in terms of accuracy, although it has been shown that validity of linear measurements of interproximal bone loss could not be improved by basic digital manipulations. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of radiovisiography (rvg) in the linear measurement of interproximal...

Different techniques and materials can be used to treat intrabony periodontal defects caused by periodontal diseases. This case report presents an intrabony periodontal defect with bioactive glass and connective tissue graft used as a barrier. Probing depth and clinical attachment gain were reduced at 6 and 12 months post-treatment.

The treatment of intrabony defects is a real challenge in molar teeth as it is chronic, slowly progressing disease which needs timely intervention. Periodontal inflammation associated with intrabony defect is not a separate entity as it secondarily affects the pulp causing retrograde pulpitis. However, treatment of these lesions will be complicated due to extensive bone loss. The tooth was endo...

Now a days Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is gaining more attention for obtaining periodontal regeneration. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is considered a second-generation platelet concentrate that is widely used in osseous regeneration. The purpose of this case report is to present clinical and radiographic results of an intrabony periodontal defect treated with PRF. After surgical treatment with aut...
