“…The following clinical parameters were recorded at baseline and 12 months after surgery: plaque index (PI) (14), gingival index (GI) (15), bleeding on probing (BOP) (16), probing depth (PD), relative clinical attachment level (RCAL) and gingival margin position (GMP). Additionally, hard tissue measurements were undertaken during membrane placement surgery and at re-entry in order to determine the relative vertical (RVBL) and horizontal (RHBL) bone level, defined as primary study variables.…”

In a previous study in dogs, the early removal of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane (2 weeks after placement) showed histomorphometric results (of new bone, cementum and periodontal ligament) similar to that obtained with membrane removal at 4 weeks after placement. This study evaluated the influence of early removal of an ePTFE membrane on the treatment of Class II furcation defects. Twelve patients who provided 12 pairs of mandibular furcation defects were recruited for the study. Baseline clinical measurements were recorded: plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), gingival margin position (GMP) and relative clinical attachment level (RCAL). Full flaps were elevated and hard tissue measurements were performed during the surgery: relative vertical (RVBL) and horizontal (RHBL) bone level. The ePTFE membranes were adapted and sutured to their correspondent tooth and removed at 2 weeks in the test group (TGr) and at 4 weeks in the control group (CGr). After 1 year all sites were re-entered, and soft and hard tissue measurements were recorded. There were no statistically significant differences between TGr and CGr for any baseline measurement. After 12 months, there were no statistically significant differences between TGr and CGr in the PD (p=0.74), GMP (p=0.76) and RCAL (p=0.44) values. However, the RHBL resolution was significant for both groups (CGr p=0.01 and TGr p=0.02), without difference between groups (p=0.39). Early removal of membranes did not affect the outcome on the treatment of Class II furcation defects.

“…El cambio más acentuado en la distribución de bacterias se produjo en el primer periodo de tiempo (es decir, a las 4 semanas post-tratamiento) con las tres modalidades realizadas. Estudios previos concuerdan con nuestros resultados tanto en la caso de la aplicación de RAR+ERL (21,22), como tras la aplicación de RAR+TFD (17,19). El número de especies patógenas albergadas en cada localización estudiada varió de 4 especies antes del tratamiento a 1 después de 4 semanas, y a 2-3 especies después de 8 semanas posterapia.…”

“…Daha sonra geliştirilen laserlerle bu sorun aşıldı. Başlangıçta ortaya çıkan sorunlar çözümlendikten sonra hastaya diğer enstrümanlara oranla daha az rahatsızlık verir bir hale getirildi, üstelik mikroorganizmalar üzerinde konvansiyonel yöntemler-den daha fazla etkili olduğu da gösterildi 21,22 . Son zamanlarda erbium katkılı itriyum alümin-yum garnet laser (Er:YAG) ile çok daha olumlu sonuçlar alınmıştır.…”
