A Retrospective Study of the Clinical Outcome of Guided Tissue Regeneration in infrabony defects

비흡수성 차폐막을 이용한 치조골재생술의 임상적 효과

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent and predictability of periodontal regeneration with barrier membranes in deep infrabony defects. 25 patients(40% smokers) were included in this study. Fourty-one deep infrabony defects treated with membranes(PPD>6mm) were evaluated 1 year postoperatively following a plaque control regimen. Probing pocket depth(PPD), gingival recession(REC), and probing attachment level(PAL) were evaluated at baseline and postoperative 1 year. Plaque score at baseline was 16.2 and plaque score at 1 year was 9.9 A PAL gain of $4.1{\pm}2.5mm$ along with a PPD reduction of $5.0{\pm}2.3mm$ were observed. A PAL gain of $4.1{\pm}2.5mm$ was observed at the smoking group and a PAL gain of $4.0{\pm}2.5mm$ was observed at the non-smoking sroup. It was concluded that periodontal regeneration with membrane represented the predictable and effective treatment modality in the deep infrabony defects.
