Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The shift in therapeutic concepts from resection to regeneration has significantly impacted the practice of periodontology. Human studies have revealed that hydroxyapatite bone cement holds great promise as a grafting alloplastic material. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of OSSIFI(®) (combined beta tricalcium phosphate plus hydroxyapatite) in the treatment of periodontal infrabony defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten study subjects were selected and divided into two groups. Group I (PD>7mm) and Group II (PD≤ 7mm). Both Groups I and II were treated by regenerative periodontal surgery using OSSIFI(®) as graft material. Plaque index, gingival index, pocket depth, clinical attachment levels were recorded clinically and bone fill, radiographically, at baseline, three months and six months. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Statistically significant reduction in pocket depth, plaque index, gingival index was seen after six months. There was significant bone fill seen from 3-6months with significant gain in clinical attachment levels.
