Evaluation of Amnion Chorion Membrane and Demineralized Bone Matrix Putty Allograft in Periodontal Intrabony Defects

Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Amnion Chorion Membrane and Demineralized Bone Matrix Putty Allograft for Management of Periodontal Intrabony Defects: a Randomized Clinical Trial.

A clinical and radiographic evaluation of 2 regenerative techniques, bioresorbable membrane and bone allograft for management of periodontal intrabony defects.

Twenty-two patients suffering from advanced chronic periodontitis were included in this randomized controlled clinical trial. Each subject contributed had two- or three-walled intrabony defects. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups; bioresorbable membrane or bone allograft. Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Radiographic parameters were recorded at baseline and at 6 months postoperatively.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Severe chronic periodontitis patients.
• having at least one site with pocket depth ≥ 6 mm and clinical attachment level ≥ 5 mm, with radiographic evidence of bone loss as detected in periapical radiographs.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnant women
• Having any given systemic disease
• Taking any type of medication and/or antibiotic therapy during the 3 months before the study
• Received periodontal treatment within the past 12 months Current or former smokers
