Abstract
Background
To replace missing periodontal tissues in vertical defects during periodontal surgery, bone graft materials are frequently used. A frequent occurrence that can affect healing outcomes is postoperative edema. The purpose of this study was to evaluate postoperative edema in various vertical bone graft defects following periodontal surgery.
Materials and Methods
50 participants were split into two groups for a prospective study: Group A received xenografts, whereas Group B received synthetic grafts. Up to 14 days after surgery, baseline and routine postoperative edema measurements were made. Edema levels in each group were compared using statistical analysis.
Results
At all postoperative time points, Group A showed substantially more edema than Group B (P < 0.05). Furthermore, edema persisted longer in Group A than it did in Group B.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the substance of the bone graft used in vertical defects during periodontal surgery affects postoperative edema. Compared to synthetic grafts, xenografts caused swelling to last longer and at higher levels. To maximize healing results, clinicians should take these findings into account when choosing graft materials.
