Abstract:
This study evaluated the use of decalcified, freeze-dried bone allograft for repairing periodontal intrabony defects. 15 patients participated in the trial with 21 teeth. Following initial preparation and reevaluation, the bone defects were filled with decalcified, freeze dried bone. Patients were recalled after 1 week, 3 months and 6 months. After 6 months, significant clinical changes could be noted: mean probing pocket depth decreased from 6.2 mm to 3 mm, attachment loss decreased from 6.5 mm to 2.7mm, alveolar bone effect height increased by 2mm.
