ABSTRACT

Periodontal diseases are most common inflammatory disease which characterized by the irreversible loss of tooth supporting apparatus. To maintain loss of periodontal tissues after infection, more recently tissue engineering technique has been used for periodontal regeneration. In present study bioglass scaffolds was used in treatment of various type of bone defects. Aims: The present study was aimed to evaluate clinically and radiographically the effect of scaffold of bioactive glass in the treatment of different forms of periodontal bony defects. Material and methods: Sixteen patients with various type of alveolar bone defects such as infra bony defects and furcations. Results: the study showed a highly significant reduction in the probing pocket depth, relative attachment level (RAL) and radiological bone height after 6 months postoperatively.
