Abstract
Our article was an attempt to focus on combined benefits of Bio-Gen mix®, PRF and amnion membrane to provide a viable regenerative option in periapical surgery. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no evidence related to the application of a human placental membrane in periapical surgery. Our presented case reports provide an insight into this novel therapeutic option. The presented case reports confirm that the amnion membrane combined with bone graft and PRF have enhanced the healing outcomes and provided endodontists a sustainable tool while performing surgeries in the esthetic zone.
Introduction Periapical surgery is the last resort in the arsenal of an endodontist to effectively deal with periapical lesions that result from necrosis of the pulp. Bone grafts, growth factors and membranes form an array of regenerative materials that influence the healing outcome of periapical surgery. Presentation of case The main purpose of the two cases reported here was to assess the potential benefits of a combination of bone graft, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and amnion membrane in terms of reduced post-operative discomfort, radiographic evidence of accelerated periapical bone healing and present a novel therapeutic option in the management of large periapical lesions. Two cases of radicular cysts were treated through a combined regenerative approachof Bio-Gen mix®, PRF and amnion membrane. The patients were assessed for discomfort immediate post-operatively and after a week. The patients were recalled every month for the next 6 months for radiographic assessment of the periapical healing. Discussion Literature is replete with articles that have substantiated the role of demineralized bone matrix comprising a mixture of cancellous and cortical bone graft particles in enhancing regeneration. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no evidence related to the application of a human placental membrane in periapical surgery. Hence, the rationale of using a combined approach of Bio-Gen mix®, PRF and amnion membrane was to combine the individual advantages of these materials to enhance clinical and radiographic healing outcomes. Our present case reports provide an insight into this novel therapeutic option. Conclusion The results of this case seriessubstantiatesthe credibility of using a combination ofamnion membrane with a bone graft and PRF to enhance radiographic healing outcome with decreased post-operative discomfort and present a viable regenerative treatment modality in periapical surgery.

Abstract
Regenerative procedures using barrier membrane technology are presently well established in periodontal/endodontic surgery. The objective of this study was to compare the subsequent effects of the released platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and growth/differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5) from collagen membranes (CMs) on bone regeneration in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies were conducted using MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblasts cultured with or without factors. Cell viability, cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and bone marker gene expression were then measured. In vivo studies were conducted by placing CMs with low or high dose PDGF or GDF-5 in rat mandibular defects. At 4 weeks after surgery new bone formation was measured using μCT and histological analysis. The results of in vitro studies showed that CM/GDF-5 significantly increased ALP and cell proliferation activities without cytotoxicity in MC3T3-E1 cells when compared to CM/PDGF or CM alone. Gene expression analysis revealed that Runx2 and Osteocalcin were significantly increased in CM/GDF-5 compared to CM/PDGF or control. Quantitative and qualitative μCT and histological analysis for new bone formation revealed that although CM/PDGF significantly enhanced bone regeneration compared to CM alone or control, CM/GDF-5 significantly accelerated bone regeneration to an even greater extent than CM/PDGF. The results also showed that GDF-5 induced new bone formation in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that this strategy, using a CM carrying GDF-5, might lead to an improvement in the current clinical treatment of bone defects for periodontal and implant therapy.

Abstract
Conflicting data exist on the combined use of grafting materials and barrier membranes in comparison to guided tissue regeneration (GTR) with membrane alone. The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical outcomes of GTR with collagen membrane (CM) alone (control group) or CM combined with autogenous bone graft (test group 1) or autogenous bone mixed with bioactive glass (test group 2) in intrabony defects. A total of 32 intraosseous defects in 22 subjects were treated randomly. After 6 months, significant probing depth reduction, clinical attachment level gain (CAL) and defect resolution were observed in all groups with significantly greater improvements in the test groups. There was no significant difference between the two test groups in any parameter. Results of the present study suggest that autogenous bone can be mixed with bioactive glass if the amount of the harvested bone is not sufficient.

Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is effective in halting tissue and bone destruction and promoting new tissue and bone formation. Although the goal of complete and predictable regeneration still remains elusive, many techniques and materials have been developed that show good clinical and histologic outcomes. The most commonly used materials in GTR include bone replacement grafts from numerous sources, nonresorbable and bioabsorbable membranes, and recently growth hormones/cytokines and other host modulating factors. This article reviews the biologic rationale behind current techniques used for tissue/bone regeneration, reviews the most common materials and techniques, and attempts to explain the factors that influence the outcomes of these therapies.

Abstract
Untreated periodontal disease leads to tooth loss through destruction of the attachment apparatus and tooth-supporting structures. The goals of periodontal therapy include not only the arrest of periodontal disease progression,but also the regeneration of structures lost to disease where appropriate. Conventional surgical approaches (e.g., flap debridement) continue to offer time-tested and reliable methods to access root surfaces,reduce periodontal pockets, and attain improved periodontal form/architecture. However, these techniques offer only limited potential towards recovering tissues destroyed during earlier disease phases. Recently, surgical procedures aimed at greater and more predictable regeneration of periodontal tissues and functional attachment close to their original level have been developed, analyzed, and employed in clinical practice. This paper provides a review of the current understanding of the mechanisms, cells, and factors required for regeneration of the periodontium and of procedures used to restore periodontal tissues around natural teeth. Targeted audiences for this paper are periodontists and/or researchers with an interest in improving the predictability of regenerative procedures. This paper replaces the version published in 1993.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary aim of this 9-month randomized, controlled, blinded, clinical reentry study was to compare the regenerative effects of a nonporous polytetrafluoroethylene (NP) periodontal membrane to a porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (P) periodontal membrane in the treatment of vertical osseous defects. METHODS Twenty-four patients, 11 males and 13 females, age 24 to 74 (mean 50.5 +/- 13.1) provided one site with an intraosseous defect > or = 4 mm and were divided equally and randomly into two groups. Following debridement both groups were grafted with a bovine-derived xenograft coated with a synthetic cell-binding peptide; then the test group received an NP membrane and the control group received a P membrane. All defects were reentered after 9 months. Measurements were performed by a masked examiner. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) between NP and P groups for any open or closed probing measurement at any time. Similar open initial defect depth for the NP group and P groups (4.8 versus 5.0 mm) demonstrated identical 9-month defect fill of 2.8 mm (57%) for both groups. A difference in crestal resorption for the NP compared to the P group (0.4 versus 0.8 mm) accounted for the difference in mean percent defect resolution, which was 67% for NP compared to 72% for the P group. Overall, nine (75%) of the NP group defects and eight (67%) of the P group defects showed more than 50% defect fill. CONCLUSION Treatment of vertical osseous defects with nonporous or porous polytetrafluoroethylene membranes in combination with a xenograft resulted in statistically significant improvement in open and closed probing measurements, with no significant difference between treatment groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether Bio-Oss used as an adjunct to guided tissue regeneration (GTR) improves the healing of 1- or 2-wall intrabony defects as compared with GTR alone, and to examine whether impregnation of Bio-Oss with gentamicin may have an added effect. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty patients, with at least one interproximal intrabony defect with probing pocket depth (PPD) > or =7 mm and radiographic evidence of an intrabony component (IC) > or =4 mm, were treated at random with either a resorbable membrane (GTR), a resorbable membrane in combination with Bio-Oss impregnated with saline (DBB-), a resorbable membrane in combination with Bio-Oss impregnated with gentamicin (DBB+), or with flap surgery (RBF). RESULTS All treatment modalities resulted in statistically significant clinical improvements after 1 year. Defects treated with GTR alone presented a probing attachment level (PAL) gain of 2.9 mm, a residual PPD (PPD12) of 4.9 mm, a radiographic bone level (RBL) gain of 3.1 mm, and a residual IC (IC12) of 2.7 mm. GTR combined with Bio-Oss did not improve the healing outcome (PAL gain: 2.5 mm; PPD12: 4.9 mm; RBL gain: 2.8 mm; IC12: 3.3 mm). Impregnation of the Bio-Oss with gentamicin 2% mg/ml resulted in clinical improvements (PAL gain: 3.8 mm; PPD12: 4.2 mm; RBL gain: 4.7 mm; IC12: 2.1 mm), superior to those of the other treatment modalities, but the difference was not statistically significant. Defects treated with only flap surgery showed the most inferior clinical response (PAL gain: 1.5 mm; PPD12: 5.1 mm; RBL gain: 1.2 mm; IC12: 4.2 mm) of all groups. CONCLUSION The results failed to demonstrate an added effect of Bio-Oss implantation in combination with GTR on the healing of deep interproximal 1- or 2-wall, or combined 1- and 2-wall intrabony defects compared with GTR alone. Local application of gentamicin, on the other hand, improved the treatment outcome but not to an extent that it was statistically significant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In an effort to regenerate periodontal intrabony defects, the healing potential of the defect should determine what therapeutic modalities and materials are employed. The purpose of this study was to compare regenerative outcomes in baboon intrabony defects that were contained versus non-contained, using various regenerative therapies. METHODS Nine adult baboons (Papio anubis) in good health were treated. Eighty-six interproximal, intrabony defects were surgically created: 43 contained by 3 walls of bone; 43 non-contained with a missing buccal wall. Chronicity and plaque accumulation were encouraged with wire ligature placement for 8 weeks. After ligature removal, scaling, and a 2- to 4-week healing period, the defects were treated with the following therapies: collagen membrane (GTR), human demineralized freeze-dried bone (DFDB) grafting (BG), combined therapy (GTR + BG) and a DFDB-glycoprotein sponge matrix (MAT). Clinical healing responses were evaluated in 58 sites by changes in soft tissue (recession, probing, clinical attachment) and hard tissue (resorption, defect fill) parameters 6 months post-treatment. Histologic evaluation (defect regeneration, connective tissue attachment, epithelial migration) was done on 26 sites. RESULTS For contained defects, no real significant clinical (ANOVA) or histologic differences existed among treatments. However, for non-contained defects, combined therapy (GTR + BG) demonstrated clinically significant (P < or = 0.05, ANOVA) and histologically superior healing results over the other therapies tested. CONCLUSION These results confirm a defect morphology directed rationale for periodontal intrabony therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Combined periodontal regenerative technique (CPRT) is a surgical procedure that combines the use of barrier membranes with a filling material in the treatment of periodontal defects. The effectiveness of CPRT has been evaluated in many studies in comparison to GTR with membranes alone, but conflicting results have been obtained by different clinicians, particularly in the treatment of intrabony defects. The aim of the present study was to compare CPRT to GTR with collagen membranes in the treatment of human intrabony defects characterized by a relevant 1-wall component. METHODS Thirty-four (34) healthy, non-smoking patients affected by moderate to severe chronic periodontitis participated in this study. Each patient had good oral hygiene and at least 1 radiographically detectable intrabony defect > or = 4 mm, with a 1-wall component of at least 50% of the defect, involving 2 tooth surfaces or more with a probing depth (PD) > or = 6 mm. Seventeen (17) subjects were randomly assigned to the test group and underwent CPRT by anorganic bovine bone and a collagen membrane, and 17 randomly assigned to the control group who received GTR with a collagen membrane alone. Pre- and post-therapy clinical parameters (probing depth [PD]; clinical attachment level [CAL]; gingival recession [GR]) and intrasurgical parameters (depth of intraosseous component [IOC]; level of the alveolar crest [ACL]) were compared between test and control groups 1 year after treatment. Vertical bone gain (VBG) from the base of the defect to the cemento-enamel junction was also evaluated in both groups. RESULTS At the 1-year examination, clinical and intrasurgical parameters showed statistically significant changes within each experimental group from baseline. A statistically greater CAL gain was reported in the test group (P<0.05), whereas the control group exhibited more GR and alveolar crest resorption at a statistically significant level (P<0.01). VBG was significantly greater (P<0.01) at test sites (5.23 +/- 1.30 mm) compared to controls (3.82 +/- 1.28 mm). CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that the use of CPRT may be preferred when bioabsorbable membranes are used to treat intrabony defects characterized by unfavorable architecture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND, AIMS This investigation was designed to evaluate the null hypothesis of no differences in GTR outcomes in intrabony defects at vital and successfully root-canal-treated teeth. METHOD 208 consecutive patients with one intrabony defect each were enrolled. Based on tooth vitality, the treated population was divided at baseline into 2 groups: one with 41 non-vital teeth and the other with 167 vital teeth. The 2 groups were similar in terms of patient and defect characteristics. RESULTS A slight unbalance in terms of depth of the intrabony component was observed in the non-vital group compared to the vital group (6.9+/-2.1 mm versus 6.2+/-2.3 mm, p=0.08). All defects were treated with GTR therapy. At 1 year, the non-vital and the vital groups showed a clinical attachment level (CAL) gain of 4.9+/-2.2 mm and of 4.2+/-2 mm, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (p=0.03). To correct for the baseline unbalance in defect depth, data were expressed as a % of clinical attachment level gains with respect to the original intrabony depth of the defect. % CAL gains were 72.8+/-42.2% and 73+/-26.4% for vital and non-vital teeth, respectively: the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.48). Average residual pocket depths were 2.8+/-1 mm in the vital and 2.8+/-0.9 mm in the non-vital group. Tooth vitality was assessed at baseline, at 1-year and at follow-up (5.4+/-2.8 years after surgery): all teeth vital at baseline were still vital at follow-up with the exception of 2 teeth that received endodontic treatment for reconstructive reasons and for caries. At follow-up visit, the difference in CAL with respect to 1-year measurements was -0.9+/-0.8 mm in the vital group and -0.7+/-0.8 mm in the non-vital group, indicating stability of the regenerated attachment at the majority of sites. CONCLUSIONS Data from this study demonstrate that root canal treatment does not negatively affect the healing response of deep intrabony defects treated with GTR therapy; furthermore GTR therapy in deep intrabony defects does not negatively influence tooth vitality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study clinically compares the outcomes obtained from the use of a bioabsorbable barrier device in combination with demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) to the results obtained from the barrier device used alone in the treatment of human intraosseous defects. METHODS The study consisted of 30 patients with one intraosseous periodontal defect each. The trial included defects with loss of attachment of > or = 6 mm, with a radiographically detectable defect of at least 4 mm and with at least 2 remaining osseous walls. After the hygienic phase, at baseline, probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and recession (REC) were measured. During open flap debridement, the defects were randomly assigned to receive either a polylactic acid (PLA) barrier in combination with DFDBA (test) or a PLA barrier alone (control). Additionally, baseline osseous intrasurgical measurements of the periodontal defect were obtained to evaluate the amount of bone regeneration. PD, CAL, and REC were remeasured at 6 and 12 months postsurgery and osseous measurements repeated at 12 months during a re-entry procedure. RESULTS Two-sample t-test comparisons of mean PD, CAL, and REC measurements (mm) between test (PLA+DFDBA) and control (PLA alone) groups at baseline, PLA+DFDBA: PD = 7.3, CAL = 8.1, REC = -0.7; PLA-alone: PD = 7.9, CAL = 8.4, REC = -0.5, were not statistically different (P>0.05). The following mean changes (delta) at 6 months for the test and the control groups were: decreased PD = 3.6 and 4.0 mm; gain CAL = 2.7 and 3.1 mm; and increased REC = -0.8 and -0.8 mm, respectively. At 12 months the changes for the test and control groups were: decreased PD = 3.3 and 4.1 mm; gain CAL = 2.3 and 3.2 mm; and increased REC = -0.8 and -1.0 mm, respectively. Two-sample t-test comparisons between PD, CAL, and REC changes yielded no significant differences between treatments (P > 0.05), except for the change in CAL at 12 months in favor of the control group, P = 0.008. Comparisons of osseous measurements resulted in no significant differences between groups at baseline and at 12 months (P > 0.05). The intrabony defect filled on the average 3.72 mm for the test and 4.85 mm for the control group. The experimental defects showed a 4.73 mm defect depth reduction, while the control defects reduced 5.35 mm. Re-entry measurements of osseous crest resorption were 1.1 mm for the test and 0.61 mm for the control. CONCLUSIONS In the intraosseous defects treated in this study, the addition of DFDBA to the GTR procedure did not significantly enhance the clinical results obtained with the GTR procedure alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study of regenerative therapy in the periodontal intrabony defect has relied upon surgical re-entry as the gold standard of outcome assessment. The search for a non-invasive method has led to the application of various radiographic techniques in evaluating post-treatment bone fill. METHODS The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of 2 forms of radiographic analyses (linear measurement and computer assisted densitometric image analysis, CADIA) to assess postsurgical bone fill as measured at a re-entry procedure. A method that incorporates linear measurements and CADIA (linear-CADIA) was developed and tested as well. Forty-five intrabony defects in 15 patients were treated with open flap debridement, demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA), or a combination of DFDBA and tetracycline. Standardized radiographs were obtained at baseline and at 1-year postsurgery. RESULTS A 12-month surgical re-entry provided clinical measurements for post-treatment bone fill. All radiographs were digitally scanned and analyzed on a computer. Fifty-three percent of the defects were excluded from the study due to poor standardization or poor defect quality. Forty percent of all pairs of radiographs were judged to have poor standardization. In the first analysis, standardized images were subtracted and quantitatively analyzed utilizing CADIA. It was found that CADIA had the highest correlation with clinical bone fill when a region of interest (ROI) was examined in the middle portion of the defect. This quantitative evaluation provided very little clinically relevant information regarding actual bone fill. For the second analysis, pre- and post-treatment linear radiographic measurements were obtained. In only 43% of the sites, did linear radiographic measurements determine post-treatment bone fill within 1.0 mm of the clinical measurements. Overall, linear measurements underestimated bone fill by 0.96 mm (+/-1.2). These differences were statistically significant (paired Student t-test, P = 0.0023). A method, which incorporates the use of both CADIA and linear radiographic measurements (linear-CADIA), was tested. The linear-CADIA method underestimated bone fill by 0.26 mm (+/-1.4), but these differences were not statistically significant (paired Student t-test, P = 0.41). CONCLUSION Linear radiographic measurements significantly underestimate post-treatment bone fill when compared to re-entry data. The linear-CADIA method provided the highest level of accuracy of the 3 methods tested. This study also emphasizes the importance of developing a consistent method of radiographic standardization.

Abstract
This report describes the clinical application of an in situ formed barrier of poly(DL-lactide) used in combination with a composite graft of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) mixed with calcium sulfate and tetracycline in a ratio of 7:2:1 and citric acid root conditioning for the treatment of intrabony and furcation defects. The clinical outcome was assessed by changes in clinical attachment level (CAL) and probing depth (PD) in 18 consecutively treated patients with 17 intrabony and 5 furcation lesions. After patients demonstrated acceptable oral hygiene, the lesions were surgically treated with combination therapy using an in situ formed barrier over a DFDBA composite graft. Patients followed a stringent postoperative protocol and were evaluated at 6 months postsurgery. CAL improved for all sites from a presurgical average of 8.8+/-2.3 mm to 4.4+/-1.6 mm at 6 months postsurgery (4.4+/-1.5 mm gain), while PD was reduced from an average of 8.3+/-2.1 mm presurgery to 3.3+/-1.1 mm at 6 months postsurgery (5.0+/-1.8 mm reduction). Five furcations were treated, of which 4 were Class II and 1 was Class III. Of these furcation lesions, 3 had complete clinical closure, while 1 improved by 1 grade. The Class III furcation remained the same. Results suggest that DFDBA composite graft covered by an in situ formed barrier on root surfaces treated with citric acid can enhance the prognoses of teeth with periodontal lesions as measured by CAL gains and PD reductions. Further studies are warranted to compare this treatment to other more traditional forms of regenerative therapy to determine its comparative efficacy.

Abstract
Bone replacement grafts will play a continuing role in periodontal and other regenerative therapy. Several choices are available to the clinician including autogenous, allogeneic, xenogeneic and a variety of alloplastic materials. Except for fresh autogenous bone, bone replacement graft(s) do not provide the cellular elements necessary for osteogenesis nor can they reliably be considered truly osteoinductive, but instead are mostly osteoconductive, providing a scaffold for bone deposition. Currently, significant decrease in clinical probing depth and gain of clinical attachment have been reported following use of bone replacement grafts when compared to flap debridement surgery alone for periodontal osseous defects. Reported differences among bone replacement grafts (autogenous, allogeneic, xenogeneic, and alloplastic) occur with respect to histological outcomes. Overall, probing depth reduction, attachment level gain and degree of defect fill are similar for all bone replacement grafts.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to restore periodontal tissues lost through disease or trauma. The most predictable way to accomplish this goal is by guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The principle of GTR is to give preference to certain cells to repopulate the wound area to form a new attachment apparatus. Clinically this is accomplished by placing a barrier over the defect thereby excluding gingival tissues from the wound during early healing. The first generation of GTR barriers were non-resorbable which implies that they have to be removed in a second surgical procedure. Resorbable barriers have recently been introduced, changing GTR into a single-step procedure. Periodontal defects that will predictably benefit from GTR therapy are intrabony, furcation class II and gingival recession defects. This paper reviews the scientific evidence of what can be achieved by GTR procedures for various periodontal defects as well as factors of importance to increase the predictability of a successful treatment outcome.

Abstract
This article reviews studies presented during the last 20 years on the surgical treatment of intrabony defects. Treatments include open flap debridement alone (OFD); OFD plus demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA), freeze-dried bone allografts (FDBA), or autogenous bone; and guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The review includes only studies that presented baseline and final data on probing depths, intrabony defect depths as measured during surgery, clinical attachment level (CAL) gain, and/or bone fill. Some reports were case studies and some controlled studies comparing different treatments. In order to assess what can be accomplished in terms of pocket reduction, clinical attachment level gain, and bone fill with the various treatment modalities, data from studies of each treatment category were pooled for meta-analysis in which the data from and power of each study were weighted according to the number of defects treated. In addition, where there were data for each individual defect treated, these were used for simple regression analysis evaluating the influence of intrabony defect depth on treatment outcome in terms of CAL gain and bone fill. This was done in an effort to assess some predictability of the outcome of the various treatments. OFD alone resulted in limited pocket reduction, CAL gain averaged 1.5 mm and bone fill 1.1 mm. Bone fill, but not CAL gain, correlated significantly to the depth of the defect (R=0.3; P < 0.001), but the regression coefficient was only 0.25. OFD plus bone graft resulted in limited pocket reduction. CAL gain and bone fill averaged 2.1 mm. Bone fill showed a somewhat stronger correlation to defect depth than following OFD alone (R=0.43; P < 0.001) with a regression coefficient of 0.37. GTR resulted in significant pocket reduction, CAL gain of 4.2 mm, and bone fill averaging 3.2 mm. CAL gain and bone fill correlated significantly (P < 0.001) to defect depth (R=0.52 and 0.53 respectively) with the largest regression coefficients (0.54 and 0.58 respectively) among the three treatment modalities. By comparing outcomes following the various treatments it became obvious that to benefit from GTR procedures, the intrabony defect has to be at least 4 mm deep.
