Clinical and histopathological study on the effect of Nonresorbable membrane with Demineralized freeze dried bone graft for Guided Bone Regeneration in Implant Dehiscence Defects / 대한치주과학회지

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of non-resorbable membrane such as e-PTFE which was used with DFDB in bone regeneration on dehiscence defect in peri-implant area. Amomg the patients, who have recieved an implant surgery at the department of Periodontics in Dan Kook University Dental Hospital, 12 patients showed implant exposure due to the dehiscence defect and 15 implants of these 22 patients were the target of the treatment. Periodontists randomly applied Gore-Tex(R) to the patients and treated them with antibiotics for five days both preoperatively and postoperatively. Reentry period was 26 weeks on average in maxilla and 14 weeks on average in mandible. The results were as follows : 1. Dehiscence bone defect frequently appeared in premolar in mandible and anterior teeth in maxilla respectively. 2. Among 15 cases, 1 membrane exposure was observed and in this case, regenerated area was decreased. 3. In non-resorbable membrane, bone surface area 9.25+/-4.84 preoperatively and significantly increased to 11.48+/-7.52 postoperatively(P<0.05). 4. The increase of bone surface area in non-resorbable membrane was 2.23+/-3.38. 5. As a result of histopathological finding, DFDB surrounded by new bone formation and lamellate bone, resorption of DFDB and bone mineralization was found. Also, fibrosis of connective tissue beneath the membrane was found. This study shows that the surgical method using DFDB and non-resorbable membrane on dehiscence defect in peri-implant area is effective in bone regeneration.

A comparison of bioresorbable membranes alone or in combination with platelet-derived growth factors and insulin-like growth factors on the periodontal healing of the dehiscence defects in dogs / 대한치주과학회지

The purpose of present study is to compare the effect of treatment using Guidor(R) as a barrier membrane in conjunction with platelet-derived growth factor and insulin like growth factors on experimental dehiscence defects. Following the resection of premolar crowns, roots were submerged. After 12 weeks of healing period, experimental dehiscence defects of 4mm in height and 4mm in width were surgically created on the mid-facial aspect of the lower premolar roots in each of 4 adult dogs. After root planning and demineralization of the root surface with citric acid, the control groups received 4% methylcellulose gel only, the test group I received 4% methylcellulose gel and were covered by Guidor(R) and the test group II were treated with PDGF and IGF and 4% methylcellulose gel with Guidor(R) coverage. Histological and histomorphometric analysis following 8 weeks of healing revealed the following results. 1. The new bone formation showed no statistically significant difference in all groups with 0.59+/-0.82mm(14.03+/-19.60%) for control, 0.70+/-0.39mm(16.30+/-9.01%) for group I, 0.87+/-0.76mm(18.74+/-16.03%) for group II. 2. The new cementum formation showed no statistically significant difference in all groups with 0.54+/-0.48mm(16.38+/-14.57%) for control, 0.95+/-0.38mm(23.43+/-9.30%) for group I, 1.01+/-0.75mm(22.10+/-16.11%) for gorup II. 3. The root resorption showed statistically significant differences betweenthe control group and all test groups(p<0.05) with 2.11+/-0.53mm(52.93+/-12.32%) for control, 0.63+/-0.27mm(15.32+/-7.05%) for group I, 0.89+/-0.33mm (19.26+/-7.11%) for group II. On the bases of these results, there were no statistically difference between treatment using resorbable membrane and resorbable membrane in conjunction with PDGF and IGF in the dehiscence defects, where it was difficult to maintain space. The use of membrane seemed to be more effective in the inhibition of root resorption.

The Effects of Calcium sulfate Membrane on the Periodontal Wound Repair of Horizontal Dehiscence defects in Dogs / 대한치주과학회지

The present study investigates the effects of calcium sulfate graft on the periodontal healing in intrabony periodontal defects of dogs. Following the general anesthesia with 30mg/kg pentobarbital injected intravenously, the first premolar was extracted and full-thickness periodontal flap was elevated from the second premolar to the fourth premolar. The portion of premolars coronal to the alveolar crest was removed and mesial and distal roots were separated. Exposed root canals were sealed with Caviton and covered completely with flaps sutured. Following the healing period of 12 weeks, the surgical sited were uncovered and 4x4mm intrabony defects were surgically created. Those defects with calcium sulfate graft following the root planing was designated as the test sites and those with flap surgery-only were designated as control sites. The animals were sacrificed after 8 weeks and the healing was histologically analyzed. The results were as follows. 1. No foreign body reaction or inflammation were observed in either groups. Calcium sulfate was completely resorbed in the test sites. 2. New cementum was observed coronal to the notch in both groups. Connective tissue fibers were oriented parallel to the root surface in the controls. Connective tissues were formed in large amount in the sites. 3. Test sites showed marked amount of new bone formation while the control sites showed minimal bone gain. 4. Root resorption was observed in coronal portions of th control sites. The results suggest that calcium sulfate is a biocompatible graft material with a potential for new bone and cementum formation.
