Case-control Study: Comparative Evaluation of Bio active Glass (Novabone Putty) and Demineralized Freeze-dried Bone Allograft in the Treatment of Mandibular Furcation Defects.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare a second-generation bioactive glass putty biomaterial (Novabone putty) against demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) in mandibular grade II furcation defects.

Materials And Methods: Fifteen systematically healthy individuals in the age range of 38-50 years were selected for this split-mouth study. Group I consisting of 15 sites, was treated with DFDBA and group II consisting of 15 sites was treated with Novabone putty (NB putty).
