Various particle sizes of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) are currently used to treat patients with periodontal osseous defects. However, the effect of particle size on the healing of human intrabony periodontal defects is unknown since there have been no direct clinical comparisons. The purpose of this study was to compare the bony defect resolution obtained using two different particle size ranges of DFDBA. Cortical bone from a single donor was processed and ground to final particle sizes of 250 mu to 500 mu or 850 mu to 1,000 mu using an analytic mill. Paired interproximal intrabony periodontal defects in 11 patients were grafted with DFDBA. Soft and hard tissue measurements were made using an electronic constant-force probe at the initial and reentry surgeries. Treated sites in 10 patients were reevaluated by reentry approximately 6 months postoperatively. Mean bony defect fill was 1.66 mm for the large particle group and 1.32 mm for the small particle group. There was no statistically significant difference in bony fill between defects grafted with the different particle sizes of DFDBA when used in humans.

Objective: To clarify the role of concentrated growth factors (CGF) in the treatment of periodontal cement defects using calcium phosphate cement (CPC) with self-curing properties.
Methods: Thirty-six intrabony defects were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group received CGF+CPC treatment (=18), while the control group received CPC treatment alone (=18).

In dental diagnosis, evaluating the severity of periodontal disease by analyzing the radiographic defect angle of the intrabony defect is essential for effective treatment planning. However, dentists often rely on clinical examinations and manual analysis, which can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Due to the high recurrence rate of periodontal disease after treatment, accurately evaluating the radiographic defect angle of the intrabony defect is vital for implementing targeted interventions, which can improve treatment outcomes and reduce recurrence.

Background: There is substantial evidence that smokers present a less favorable response following regenerative periodontal surgery. However, there are no reports to date on the response to regenerative procedures in chronic cannabis smokers. In the present case study, we discuss the periodontal outcomes of reparative and regenerative surgical treatment in a cannabis consumer patient with generalized stage III grade C periodontitis.

Objectives: The present systematic review aimed to evaluate if cortical bone perforation is effective in enhancing periodontal surgery and guided bone regeneration (GBR) in humans.
Materials And Methods: Electronic search was performed in PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane CENTRAL up to October 31st, 2023. Grey literature was also searched.
Background: The adjunctive use of connective tissue grafts (CTGs) in the periodontal regeneration of intrabony defects has been proposed to prevent or limit postoperative gingival recession. However, there is limited evidence regarding the long-term clinical performance of this approach.
Methods: This article presents the five-year follow-up outcomes of a combination therapy using CTG, bone substitutes, and biologics for the treatment of deep intrabony defects associated with gingival recession.
