Abstract:
The multifaceted properties of calcium sulfate demonstrate its usefulness in periodontal practice. Calcium sulfate can function as a resorbable space filler, a resorbable barrier (compatible with guided tissue regeneration principles) and as a vehicle for controlled-release chemotherapy. Various periodontal challenges are demonstrated through case reports using calcium sulfate.
