Long-term clinical outcomes of abutments treated with guided tissue regeneration

Clinical and Histologic Evaluation of a Granular Bovine Bone Biomaterial Used as an Adjunct to GTR With a Bioresorbable Bovine Pericardium Collagen Membrane in the Treatment of Intrabony Defects

“…In addition, these clinical improvements were basically maintained for 2 additional years for most cases (61% or 83% depending on whether the threshold to characterize sites losing attachment was set to 1 or 2 mm, respectively). Stability of the improved clinical conditions obtained after GTR, with or without the adjunct use of a bone biomaterial, over a long period of time has been previously reported 6‐11,36‐38 . In this context, most studies previously presented 28,29,31 indicate that TG is a barely resorbable material.…”

“…Improved periodontal treatment outcomes (i.e., larger probing depth [PD] reductions and clinical attachment level [CAL] gains) have usually been observed after GTR treatment in intrabony and furcation defects, compared to what is obtained after conventional periodontal surgery (i.e., open flap debridement) 3‐5 . In addition, it has been shown that the improved clinical conditions are maintained over a long period of time 6‐11 …”

Nonsurgical periodontal therapy to treat a case of severe periodontitis

“…However, periodontal regenerative procedures require a specific type of defect morphology and it would be an extensive procedure to attempt success. [23][24][25] Given the patient's young age (38 years), and the facts mentioned above, it was felt that it would be in the patient's best interest to attempt to postpone tooth extraction for as long as possible. In addition, if the periodontal disease were stabilized, the patient would then undergo orthodontic treatment to address his main concern of esthetics.…”

Restauraciones protésicas sobre dientes con soporte periodontal reducido

“…Los defectos óseos angulares han sido tratados con una variedad de acercamientos quirúrgicos diferentes que incluyen procedimientos resectivos y regenerativos (34,35). Estudios a corto y largo plazo demuestran que la regeneración tisular guiada podría ser aplicada con éxito en el tratamiento de estos defectos alrededor de los pilares protési-cos de manera que mejore el pronóstico de aquellos severamente comprometidos y puedan ser incluidos en las restauraciones definitivas (36,37).…”
