Periodontal repair in dogs: effect of the modified calcium sulfate paste on the 1-wall intrabony defects / 대한치주과학회지

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of modified calcium sulfate paste on periodontal regeneration. 1-wall intrabony defect(mesio-distal width 4mm, depth 4mm) was surgically created on the distal side of P2 and mesial side of P4 in four dogs. The control group(GFS) was treated with conventional flap operation alone, and the experimental group(CS) observations were as follows. 1. The length of the junctional epithelium was 0.41+/-0.0lmm in the control groups, 0.47+/-0.0lmm in the experimental group. 2. The connective tissue attachment was 0.28+/-0.02mm(6.15+/-0.28%) in the control group, 0.18+/-0.0lmm(3.41+/-0.14%) in the experimental group. The control group showed more connective tissue attachment. 3. The new cementum formation was 3.80+/-0.06mm(84.80+/-0.33%) in the control group, 4.49+/-0.06mm(87.57+/-0.15%) in the experimental group. Both groups showed a lot of new cementum formation. 4. The new bone formation was 1.43+/-0.03mm(32.37%) in the control group, 2.04+/-0.09%nm(40.94%) in the experiment group. 5. The inflamatory cells were observed partially around resorbed calcium sulfate in the connective tissue of the experimental group. 6. Partially resorbed calcium sulfate were found within the connective tissue, around alveolar bone, and in the newly formed alveolar bone, On the basis of these results, newly formed calcium sulfate paste enhanced new bone formation and new cementum formation. The resorption rate of calcium sulfate seems to he controlled by the add-in compounds. Thus research about biocompatibility and adequate resorptionrate is required to develop a improved material.
