Abstract

Aim: The purpose of the study was to compare clinically and radiographically the efficacy of Platelet-rich-fibrin and 70%βTricalcium phosphate + 30% Hydroxyapatite alloplastic bone graft (Osteon II ®) in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. Materials & Method: 30 surgical sites were selected in 15 patients and treated with either open flap debridement (OFD) with PRF or OFD with 70%β-TCP+30%HA bone graft. Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 3months and 6 months postoperatively. The bonefill was evaluated at baseline, 3months and 6 months with the help of a radiographic grid. Result: Significant probing pocket depth (PPD) reduction, clinical attachment level (CAL) gain, significant change in Gingival Recession(GR) and significant bone fill(BF) was observed in both PRF and 70% β- TCP+30%HA bone graft treated sites. Conclusion: The use of PRF or 70% β-TCP+30%HA bone graft was effective in the treatment of intrabony defects with an uneventful healing of the sites.
