Surgical treatment of periodontal intrabony defects with calcium sulphate in combination with beta tricalcium phosphate

Abstract

Aim of study: The study was focused on the decrease of the depth of periodontal pockets and to obtain the information about depth of pockets after this type of treatment. Another result was to have information if there are recessions of soft tissues and the grade of recessions. Also the attachement level was evaluated before and one year after treatment. Method: 21 patients were includuded to the study, all of them passed through inicial phase, collaboration was on very good level. Age between 21-53 yers. Set of patients was composed by eight men and 13 women. For further treatment of 39 teeth with pocket depth ≥ 5 mm after inicial therapy was recomended GTR. Recessions were measured before and after treatment. Also were registered values of BOP. X-ray pictures confirmed bone resorption. All patients were generaly healthy, last three months no medication by antibiotics or anticoagulation drugs. No women were pregnant. Teeth were vital or correctly endodontic treated. Results: The study confirmed decrease of the number of teeth with pockets in all measurements. Conspicious decrease of pocket depth was registered on aproximal sides it means mesialy and distaly. We registered more noteceable recession on vestibular sides.
