Long-Term Outcome Following Regenerative Periodontal Treatment of Intrabony Defects

Long-Term Outcome Following Regenerative Periodontal Treatment of Intrabony Defects: A Retrospective Study at Mahidol University

Many years ago, periodontal regenerative treatment has been done in Periodontics and Oral Medicine Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. However, there is still lacking of study about long-term result of periodontal regenerative treatment of intrabony defects.

Beside, in the present, some materials for periodontal regenerative treatment are still expensive. Periodontists and patients have to plan together based on not only rationale of treatment but also cost and effectiveness. Thus the long-term result of treatment could be useful for the decision making.
