The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is the regeneration of periodontal tissue which has been lost due to destructive periodontal disease, and numerous kinds of materials and techniques have been developed to achieve this goal. Bone grafts include autografts, allografts, xenografts and synthetic grafts. Among the synthetic grafts, bioactive glass has been used in dentistry for more than ten years and Fetner reported improved new bone formation and more amount of new attachment after grafting PerioGlas, a kind of bioactive glass, in 2-wall defects of monkeys in 1994. It Is well known that 1-wall defects have less osteogenic potential and more epithelial migration, so we need to study the erect of bioactive glass in 1-wall dejects in dogs. The present study evaluates the effect of bioactive glass on the epithelial migration, alveolar bone regeneration, cementum formation and gingival connective tissue attachment in intrabony detects of dogs. Four millimeter deep and four millimeter wide 1-wall defects were surgically cheated in the mesial aspects of premolars. The test group received bioactive glass with a flap procedure and the control underwent flap procedure only. Histologic analysis after 8 weeks of healing revealed the following results: 1. The height of gingival margin was 1.30{\pm}0.73mm$ above CEJ in the control and $1.40{\pm}0.78mm$ in the test group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two group. 2. The length of epithelial growth (the distance from CEJ to the apical end of JE) was $1.74{\pm}0.47mm$ in the control and $1.12{\pm}0.36mm$ in the test group. These was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01). 3. The length of new cementum was $2.06{\pm}0.73mm$ in the control and $2.62{\pm}0.37mm$ in the test group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. 4. The length of new bone was $1.83{\pm}0.74mm$ in the control and $2.39{\pm}0.59mm$ in the test group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. These results suggest that the use of bioactive glass 1-wall intrabony defects has significant effect on the prevention of junctional epithelium migration, but doesn't have any significant effect on new bone and new cementum formation.

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 ${\geq}4$ mm as detected radiographically. Subjects were randomly assigned to treatment with (BCP group, n=14) or without BCP (OFD group, n=11). Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline and 6 months after surgery and included the plaque index, gingival index, probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and gingival recession (REC). A stringent plaque control regimen was enforced for all of the patients during the 6-month observation period. Results: In all of the treatment groups, significant PD reductions and CAL gains occurred during the study period (P<0.01). At 6 months, patients in the BCP group exhibited a mean PD reduction of $3.7{\pm}1.2$ mm and a mean CAL gain of $3.0{\pm}1.1$ mm compared to the baseline. Corresponding values for the patients treated with OFD were $2.5{\pm}0.8$ mm and $1.4{\pm}1.0$ mm, respectively. Compared to OFD group, the additional CAL gain was significantly greater in the patients in BCP group (P=0.028). The additional PD reduction was significant for the BCP group (P=0.048). The REC showed a significant increase in both groups, and the amount of recession was significantly smaller in the BCP group than OFD group (P=0.023). In radiographic evaluation, the height of the bone fill in the BCP group was significantly greater than OFD group. Conclusions: The clinical benefits of BCP found in this study indicate that BCP may be an appropriate alternative to conventional graft materials.

The ultimate goal of periodontal treatment is to regenerate the lost periodontal apparatus. Many studies were performed in developing an ideal bone substitute. Anorganic bovine-derived xenograft is one of the bone substitute, which were studied and have been shown successful for decades. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect anorganic bovine-derived xenograft. Total of 20 patients, with 10 patients receiving only modified widman flap, and the other 10 receiving anorganic bovine-derived xenograft and flap surgery, were included in the study. Clinical parameters were recorded before surgery and after 6 months. The results are as follows: 1. The test group treated with anorganic bovine-derived xenograft showed reduction in periodontal pocket depth and clinical attachment level with statistically significance(p<0.001) after 6 months. The control group treated with only modified Widman flap showed reduction only in periodontal pocket depth with statistically significance(p<0.001) after 6 months. 2. Although periodontal probing depth change during 6 months did not show any significant differences between the test group and the control group, clinical attachment level gain and re-cession change showed significant differences between the two groups(p<0.05). On the basis of these results, anorganic bovine-derived xenograft improves probing depth and clinical attachment level in periodontal intrabony defects. Anorganic bovine-derived xenograft could be a predictable bone substitute in clinical use.

Purpose: Pathologic tooth migration (PTM) commonly occurs in the anterior region and is associated with periodontal disease. The treatment of PTM of anterior teeth can be complex and time consuming, and a multidisciplinary approach is often required. Materials and Methods: The patient was a 38-year-old woman with a chief complaint of saving and realigning her elongated maxillary left central incisor. This paper describes the successful combined periodontal regenerative (guided tissue regeneration) and prosthetic treatment and a 2-year follow-up of maxillary central incisor with pathologic tooth migration, deep intrabony defect, and poor prognosis. Results: The right maxillary central incisor was restored by laminate veneer and the left by all-ceramic crown. The patient had no pain and discomfort and was satisfied with the outcomes of her treatment for 2 years. She has maintained her recall program at the Department of Periodontology at 3 months interval. Conclusion: The key step in the successful treatment of PTM in anterior region is to obtain a high level of cooperation from the patient. Maintenance of the treatment result of PTM is dependent on the continuous preservation of periodontal health.

Calcium carbonate(CC) is biocompatible and gradually absorb to be replaced by bone when implanted into bone tissue. Fibrin-fibronectin sealant system (FFSS) is a product of human-derived plasma. The effect is hemostasis, tissue fixation and adhesion, We expect synergic effects of this two materials in periodontal regeneration. When FFSS was grafted with bone graft in intrabony defects, could be eliminated exofolication of bone graft materials. This study evaluated above materials for periodontal regeneration of 6mm intrabony defects in 36 patients. lap surgery was carried in 14 defects of control group. experimental group 1 was 11 defects grafted with calcium carbonate, experimental group 2 was 11 defects which were grafted with calcium carbonate with FFSS. The clinical parameters evaluated included changes in attachment level, probing depth, gingival recession at 6 months. Postsurgery probing depth reduction was 3.1 ${\pm}$ 0.9mm in control, 3.8 ${\pm}$ 1.6mm in experimental group 1, 4.1 ${\pm}$ 1.1mm in experimental group 2. The result clinically and statistically improved compared to baseline(P<0.01), but the difference found among the groups were not statistically significant. Postsurgery clinical attachment level was 1.6 ${\pm}$ 1.2mm in control, 3.5 ${\pm}$ 2.0mm in experimental group 1, 3.3 ${\pm}$ 1.2mm in experimental group 2. All of the control and experimental groups resulted in a statistically significant reduction from baseline(P<0.01). The reduction of the experimental groups were statistically significant from control(P<0.05). But the change between experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 was not statistically significant. We conclude that mixture of CC and FFSS is effective to periodontal regeneration in intrabony defect.

The recent trend of research and development on guided tissue regeneration focuses on the biodegradable membranes, which eliminate the need for subsequent surgical removal. They have demonstrated significant and equivalent clinical improvements to the ePTFE membranes. This study evaluate guided tissue regeneration wound healing in surgically induced intrabony periodontal defects following surgical treatment with a synthetic biodegradable membranes, made from a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, in 8 beagle dogs. After full thickeness flap reflection, exposed buccal bone of maxillary and mandibular canine and premolar was removed surgically mesiodistally and occlusoapically at $6mm{\times}6mm$ in size for preparation of periodontal defects. In experimental sites a customized barrier was formed and fitted to cover the defect. Flap was replaced slightly coronal to CEJ and sutured. Plaque control program was initiated and maintained until completion of the study. In 4, 8, 16 and 24 weeks after surgery, the animals were sacrificed and then undecalcified specimens were prepared for histologic evaluation. Histologic examination indicated significant periodontal regeneration characterized by new connective tissue attachment, cementum formation and bone formation. These membranes showed good biocompatibility throughout experiodontal period. The barriers had been completely resorbed with no apparent adverse effect on periodontal wound healing at 24 weeks. These results implicated that present synthetic biodegradable membrane facilitated guided tissue regeneration in periodontal defect.

Purpose: The present study investigated the outcomes of a newly-developed, simple, and practical nonsurgical treatment modality suitable for most forms of intrabony defects around failing dental implants using intrasulcular delivery of chlorhexidine solution and minocycline hydrochloride (HCl). Methods: Forty-five dental implants in 20 patients diagnosed with peri-implantitis were included. At baseline and the study endpoint, the probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and the presence of bleeding on probing (BOP) at 6 sites around each implant were recorded. The radiographic osseous defect morphology at the mesial or distal proximal aspect of each implant was classified as 1) narrow or wide and 2) shallow or deep. For a comparative analysis of bone changes according to the defect morphology, the distance from the implant shoulder to the most coronal bone-to-implant contact point (DIB) at the mesial and distal aspects of each implant was measured at baseline and the endpoint. Patients were scheduled to visit the clinic every 2-4 weeks for intrasulcular irrigation of chlorhexidine and delivery of minocycline HCl. Results: We observed statistically significant decreases in PPD, CAL, and BOP after treatment. At the endpoint, bone levels increased in all defects, regardless of the osseous morphology of the intrabony defect. The mean DIB change in deep defects was significantly greater than that in shallow defects. Although the mean bone gain in narrow defects was greater than in wide defects, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions: We propose that significant and sustainable improvements in both clinical and radiographic parameters can be expected when intrabony defects around dental implants are managed through a simple nonsurgical approach involving combined intrasulcular chlorhexidine irrigation and local delivery of minocycline HCl.

Purpose: The final goal of regenerative periodontal therapy is to restore the structure and function of the periodontium destroyed or lost due to periodontitis. However, the role of periosteum in periodontal regeneration was relatively neglected while bone repair in the skeleton occurs as a result of a significant contribution from the periosteum. The aim of this study is to understand the histological characteristics of periosteum and compare the native periosteum with the repaired periosteum after elevating flap or after surgical intervention with flap elevation. Methods: Buccal and lingual mucoperiosteal flaps were reflected to surgically create critical-size, "box-type" (4 mm width, 5 mm depth), one-wall, intrabony defects at the distal aspect of the 2nd and the mesial aspect of the 4th mandibular premolars in the right and left jaw quadrants. Animals were sacrificed after 24 weeks. Results: The results from this study are as follows: 1) thickness of periosteum showed difference as follows (P<0.05): control group ($0.45{\pm}0.22$ mm)> flap-elevation group ($0.36{\pm}0.07$ mm)> defect formation group ($0.26{\pm}0.03$ mm), 2) thickness of gingival tissue showed difference as follows (P<0.05): defect formation group ($3.15{\pm}0.40$ mm)> flap-elevation group ($2.02{\pm}0.25$ mm) > control group ($1.88{\pm}0.27$ mm), 3) higher cellular activity was observed in defect formation group and flap-elevation groups than control group, 4) the number of blood vessles was higher in defect formation group than control group. Conclusions: In conclusion, prolonged operation with increased surgical trauma seems to decrease the thickness of repaired periosteum and increase the thickness of gingiva. More blood vessles and high cellular activity were observed in defect formation group.
