Clinical evaluation of bovine derived xenograft with a bioabsorbable collagen membrane in the treatment of molar class ii furcation defects

Abstract EN

The aim of this study is to clinical evaluation bovine derived engraft with guided tissue regeneration membrane used was osseoguardresorbable collagen membrane in the treatment of human periodontal Class II molar furcation defects.

Ten patients (6 males, 4 females) suffering from chronic periodontitis, with Grade II molar furcation defect, were treated using bovine derived engraft with GTR membrane, completed the study with the following clinical parameters were assessed immediately before the surgical procedure (Baseline) and at 6 months after treatment.

These parameters were, Plaque index Score (PlI), gingival index (GI) vertical probing depth (VPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival recession(GR) and closed horizontal probing depth (CHPD).

This therapy resulted in significant VPD reductions and no significant improvement was seen (CAL), (GR) and significant reduction of (CHPD).

For the mean values for the of (VPD) (5.3 ± 1.35), (CAL) (3.5 ± 1.4), (GR) (0.3 ± 0.51) and (CHPD) (4.8 ± 0.99) at baseline, while these parameters at 6 months after surgical treatment were (2.82 ± 1.56), (2.3 ± 1.4), (0.28 ± 0.5) and (2.2 ± 1.54) respectively.

The findings of this study suggest improvement in clinical results when the use of resorb able collagen membrane with bovine derived engraft in treatment of class II molar furcation involvement.
