Clinical and radiographical evaluation of a bioresorbable collagen membrane of fish origin in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects: A preliminary study

Abstract

Background:Recently, there has been interest in non-mammalian collagen sources such as fish collagen in periodontal regeneration. In the present study, collagen barrier membrane of fish origin was assessed in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects.Materials and Methods:Ten systemically healthy chronic periodontitis patients having a paired osseous defect in the mandibular posterior teeth were selected and randomly assigned to receive a collagen membrane (test) or open flap debridement (control) in a split mouth design. Clinical parameters such as Plaque index, Gingival bleeding index, Probing pocket depth, Relative attachment level, and Recession were recorded at baseline, 3, 6, and at 9 months, while radiographic evaluation was done to assess alveolar crestal bone level and percentage of defect fill at 6 and 9 months using autoCAD 2007 software. Student's t test (two-tailed, dependent) was used to find the significance of study parameters on continuous scale. Significance was set at 5% level of significance. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to find the significance of percentage change of defect fill.Results:The comparison between the two groups did not show any statistically significant differences in the parameters assessed (P > 0.05) but, within each group, clinical parameters showed statistically significant differences from baseline to 9 months (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Within the limits of the study, it can be inferred that no significant differences were found either by using collagen membrane of fish origin or open flap debridement in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects.

Evaluation of titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin and leucocyteplatelet-rich fibrin in the treatment of intra-bony defects: Arandomized clinical trial

“…Postoperatively, chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash was used, which might have also helped decrease plaque accumulation, resolving gingival inflammation. 25 Even previous studies 26,27 used this suture material for suturing and achieved proper postoperative healing without complications.…”

Effect of Osteontm Ii Collagen in The Treatment of Chronic Periodontitis Patients: A Clinical And Radiographical Study

“…The two techniques with the most evidencebased of periodontal regeneration are bone grafting and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) (Santosh Kumar et al, 2013). Osteoconduction, osteoinduction, and osteogenesis are the three mechanisms by which bone formation occurs at the grafted area (Rajamani et al, 2019).…”

Physical and biological performances of a semi-resorbable barrier membrane based on silk fibroin-glycerol-fish collagen material for guided bone regeneration

“…Fish collagen is a biocompatible natural polymer that has a good function to promote new tissue formation. Fish collagen from various types of fish has been proposed for use as a membrane in GBR 28–32 and also as a combination with other materials such as Poly(lactide-co-glycolide), hydroxyapatite, 33 bioactive glass, and chitosan. 34 It was found as a good candidate for another source of collagen.…”
