Abstract Background: β-TCP is a synthetic grafting material (alloplasts)that can be used as allografts and xenografts in peridontal periodontal infra-bony defect. However, it is important to compare this material outcomes in such treatments when comparted to others Therefore, the aim of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of β-TCP in the regeneration of periodontal infra-bony defect. Methods: Three electronic databases (Cochrane, Pubmed, Embase) were searched up to March 2020. The inclusion criteria consist of regeneration of periodontal infra-bony defect via implementation of β-TCP in combination with other bone graft materials. Outcomes consisted of pocket depth reduction, clinical attachment level gain and bone fill. Results: Five studies were included according to inclusion criteria. β-TCP found to be superior than debridement alone while it shown comparable result to other bone grafts materials in term of pocket depth reduction, clinical attachment level gain and bone fill. the outcomes of the regenerative procedures of periodontal infra-bony defect with the use of β-TCP in combination with other growth factors seems to be superior than alone. Conclusion: β-TCP seems to be a promising material to be used in periodontal infra-bony defect regeneration.

ntroduction: Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease, which, when not adequately treated, is followed with progressive attachment loss which leads to tooth mobility and eventually tooth loss. Periodontal regenerative surgery aims to regenerate and reconstruct the lost periodontal tissue. Regeneration with novabone putty has shown to be effective in reducing probing pocket depth, gain in clinical attachment level and increase in horizontal bone level. Aim: This interventional clinical trial was to evaluate the osseous regenerative potential of a calcium phosphosilicate bioactive glass NOVABONE TM in the treatment of horizontal bone defects. Materials and method: A total of 20 sites with horizontal bone defect was treated with open flap debridement with intra marrow penetration and novabone putty. Statistical analysis: Plaque index, gingival index and radiographic determination were analysed by paired t test. Probing pocket depth and clinical attachment levels were analysed by Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Result: There was significant reduction seen in plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth and radiographic crestal level when compared between baseline and 12 months respectively (2.48 ± 0.44, 2.92 ± 0.39, 6.80 ± 0.89, 8.29 ± 0.87) and (1.89 ± 0.42, 1.92± 0.51, 3.00± 0.67, 5.48 ± 0.89) and significant gain in clinical attachment level from 4.40 ± 0.96 to 1.20 ± 0.91. Conclusion: The present study showed novabone putty significantly improved the clinical parameters in horizontal bone defects.

Background: Porous hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP + HA) bone grafting material has resulted in clinically acceptable responses when used to fill the periodontal intrabony defects. PRF is an autologous leukocyte and platelet preparation that concentrates various polypeptide growth factors which therefore holds potential to be used as regenerative treatment for periodontal defects. Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes in periodontal intrabony defects treated with platelet rich fibrin compared to alloplastic bone graft material. Materials and Methods: Twenty subjects (10 subject per group, one site/subject) were treated either with platelet rich fibrin or alloplastic bone graft (30% β-TCP+ 70% HA). Primary clinical parameters: PD, CAL were taken at baseline, three months, six months and nine months post-operatively. Standardised radiographic data were collected at baseline, six months and nine months postoperatively. Results: Preoperative parameters were similar for both groups. Postsurgical measurements revealed a greater reduction in pocket depth in bone graft group (2.5 mm), greater CAL gain (2.2 mm) and greater defect fill (1.30 mm) as compared to platelet rich fibrin group (1.50 mm, 1.6 mm and 0.80 mm respectively ) at nine months. Conclusion: Treatment of intrabony defects with alloplast (30% β TCP+ 70% HA) or platelet rich fibrin both resulted in a significant probing depth reduction, CAL gain and bone depth reduction, with significantly better improvement in bone graft group.

Abstract Background Due to complex morphology and limited access, the cleaning of the furcation area is extremely challenging. Therefore, novel therapeutic approaches need to be tested to potentially overcome debridement limitations. The aim of the present prospective 12-month study was to compare clinical and microbiological effects following erythritol air-polishing versus conventional mechanical debridement of furcation defects in a cohort of periodontal maintenance patients. Methods Twenty patients with grade II mandibular molar furcation defects volunteered to enroll in this single-centre, examiner masked, randomized controlled trial. In a split-mouth study design, two furcation sites in each patient were randomly assigned to either receive subgingival debridement using erythritol air-polishing (test) or conventional ultrasonic/curette debridement (control) at baseline, and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Probing depth, clinical attachment level and bleeding on probing were recorded at 3-month intervals. Subgingival microbiological samples obtained at baseline, 6 and 12 months were analyzed using checkerboard DNA–DNA hybridization. Discomfort from treatment was scored at 12 months using a visual analogue scale. The differences between treatments, and time-points, were tested using multilevel analysis (mixed effect models and robust variance estimates). Results A significant reduction in probing depth took place following both treatments (p < 0.001). Control sites experienced a significant mean gain in clinical attachment level of 0.5 mm (± 0.2) (p = 0.004), whereas a non-significant gain of 0.4 mm (± 0.3) was observed at test sites (p = 0.119). At 6 months, a significant between-treatment difference of 0.8 mm (± 0.4) was observed in favor of the control (p = 0.032). No significant between-treatment differences were observed in microbial load or composition. Notably, at 12 months patients experienced significantly less discomfort following air-polishing compared with control (p = 0.001). Conclusions The 12-month observations indicate that erythritol air-polishing and conventional mechanical debridement both support clinical improvements. A significant between-treatment difference in clinical attachment level was, however, detected in favour of control debridement at 6 months. In terms of patient comfort, erythritol air-polishing is superior. Trial Registration: The clinical trial was retrospectively registered in ClinicalTrial.gov with registration NCT04493398 (07/28/2020).

Background: this study evaluates the clinical outcomes of a novel approach in treating deep intrabony defects utilizing papilla preservation techniques with a combination of hyaluronic acid (HA) and deproteinized porcine bone mineral. Methods: 23 patients with 27 intrabony defects were treated with a combination of HA and deproteinized porcine bone mineral. Clinical attachment level (CAL), pocket probing depth (PPD), gingival recession (REC) were recorded at baseline and 6 months after the surgery. Results: At 6 months, there was a significant CAL gain of 3.65 ± 1.67 mm (p < 0.001) with a PPD reduction of 4.54 ± 1.65 mm (p < 0.001), which was associated with an increase in gingival recession (0.89 ± 0.59 mm, p < 0.001). The percentage of pocket resolution based on a PPD ≤4 mm was 92.6% and the failure rate based on a PPD of 5 mm was 7.4%. Conclusions: the present findings indicate that applying a combined HA and xenograft approach in deep intrabony defects provides clinically relevant CAL gains and PPD reductions compared to baseline values and is a valid new approach in treating intrabony defects.

Alloplastic bone graft materials are widely been used in combination with barrier membranes to achieve guided tissue regeneration in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. This study was designed to evaluate the clinical outcome of a composite material, beta tricalcium phosphate in combination with calcium sulphate in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. The combination of these materials is believed to aid in guided tissue regeneration owing to their properties. Thirty nine intrabony defects in 21 patients were treated with Fortoss® Vital (Biocomposites, Staffordshire, UK). Clinical parameters were evaluated including changes in probing depth, clinical attachment level/loss and gingival recession at baseline and one year postoperatively. The mean differences in measurements between the baseline and one year postoperatively are a reduction of 1.98±1.16 mm (p=0.000) in case of probing depth and a gain of 1.68±1.12 mm (p=0.000) in clinical attachment level and an increase of 0.31±0.67 mm (p=0.009) in gingival recession measurements. The study results show that the treatment with a combination of beta tricalcium phosphate and calcium sulphate led to a significantly favorable clinical improvement in periodontal intrabony defects one year postoperatively.
