The use of alloplastic biomaterials in the surgical treatment of aggressive periodontitis – a case report
Journal Title: Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
Periodontitis is a commonly encountered disease of the mouth, in man. This inflammatory process results in the impairment of the connective tissue attachment and alveolar bone resorption. Guided tissue regeneration, which aims at rebuilding the lost periodontal tissue and restoring its function, involves the use of barrier membranes and bone substitutes. This paper presents an aggressive periodontitis treatment with the use of a combination of alloplastic biomaterials applied in the anterior maxillary region of a 38-year-old female patient. The used biomaterials, i.e. hydroxyapatite and calcium sulfate, served as space fillers, the latter was also used as a barrier membrane. Satisfactory therapy results obtained in the patient were maintained throughout a 21-month postoperative follow-up period. Alloplastic materials appear to be useful in regeneration of the periodontal structures and may serve an alternative to xenografts and allogenic grafts.
