Abstract

PURPOSE
In advanced case of periodontitis, surgical treatment without bone contouring may result in residual pockets inaccessible to proper cleaning during post-treatment maintenance. This problem can be avoided or reduced by applying guided tissue regeneration.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
All of 3 patients had deep periodontal pocket depth and bleeding on probing, and radiograph revealed osseous defect, so we planned guided tissue regeneration using resorbable membrane with or without xenograft. RESULT: 6 months later, periodontal pocket depth and bleeding on probing was improved and gingiva was stable.
CONCLUSION
Guided tissue regeneration using resorbable membrane with or without xenograft in osseous defect is predictable.
