Managing furcation defects constitutes a problem in successful periodontal therapy. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is the mainstay for the management of such defects but is expensive. This study makes use of indigenously prepared demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and amniotic membrane (AM) as a cost-effective alternative. The purpose of the study was to compare the clinical outcome of grade II and III furcation defects with and without using indigenous DFDBA and AM prepared at Central Tissue Bank, MAIDS. 18 systemically healthy patients with chronic periodontitis displaying either grade II or III furcation defects were treated with open flap debridement (OFD) + intramarrow penetration (IMP) (control group) and OFD + IMP + DFDBA + AM (test group). The clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. All parameters were statistically analyzed. Both treatment modalities resulted in improvement in all clinical variables evaluated. Radiographic dimensions evaluating bone fill showed a statistically significant difference in the test group compared to the control group. Within the limitations of this study, data suggest GTR using indigenously prepared DFDBA and amniotic membrane to be an economical and viable option for treating furcation defects.

Background: The clinical evidence about alveolar ridge changes following molar extraction and how the alveolar bone morphology influences the ridge dimensional changes remains limited.
Methods: A total of 192 patients with 199 molar extractions were included in this retrospective study. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of patients were obtained 0-3 months pre extraction and 6-12 months post extraction.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) with bone substitutes (BG) in treating periodontal defects compared to using bone substitutes alone.
- Researchers analyzed data from 9 randomized controlled trials with a minimum follow-up of 6 months, focusing on intrabony and furcation defects.
- The results showed that the EMD+BG combination led to a significant improvement in clinical attachment levels for intrabony defects over a 12-month period, but no benefits were observed for furcation defects.

Background: Radiographs play a key role in diagnosis of periodontal diseases. Deep learning models have been explored for image analysis in periodontal diseases. However, there is lacuna of research in the deep learning model-based detection of furcation involvements [FI].

Background: The objective of this systematic review is to assess the clinical outcomes of intrabony and furcation defects treated using a regenerative approach with calcium phosphate (CP) grafts combined plus guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane in comparison to open flap debridement (OFD).
Method: A review protocol was created under PRISMA checklist to find randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in English that compared CPs plus GTR with OFD in humans with intrabony and/or furcation defects. Both electronic and manual searches were conducted.

Growth factors were introduced to increase predictability in periodontal regeneration and have since been widely applied in dentistry. This narrative review article highlights histological and latest findings of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB) and recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) for periodontal regeneration. rhPDGF-BB enhances the proliferation and chemotaxis of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone cells.
