The Effects of DFDB combined with Dura mater on the Periodontal Wound Healing of Dehiscence Defects in Dogs / 대한치주과학회지

ABSTRACT

The present study invetigates the effects of root planing only(control group) , DFDBA alone(test group 1) and combined use of DFDB and Dura mater(test group 2) in dehiscence defects in dogs. The results of 8weeks post-surgery by histological comparison between the three groups are as follows. 1. The contol group showed minimum regeneration of new cementum and new bone with limited migration of epitheilal cells, and healed by connective tissue attachment. 2. The test group 1 showed minimum regeneration of new cementum and new bone with limited migration of epitheilal cells, and healed by connective tissue attachment. 3. The test group 2 showed significant amount of the new cementum and new bone. 4. Both control and test groups healed without any observable root resorption and ankylosis. The above the results suggest that the use of resorbable Dura mater only does not improve the regeneration of new bone and periodontal ligament due to difficulties of space making, but the combined use with DFDB may be more effective.
