Abstract:
The potential of Bio-Oss® collagen xenograft for treating intrabony defects using minimally invasive surgical methods is of interest. Hence, 30 defect sites in individuals with mild to severe chronic periodontitis were investigated. Participants were randomly divided into two groups of 15 each. Group A underwent regenerative MIST (minimally invasive surgical technique) with a bovine-derived xenograft, while Group B received only MIST. Periodontal parameters, including plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment levels, and intrabony defect fill, were evaluated at three and six-month intervals. Significant improvements in periodontal parameters were observed in both groups, with Group A showing significantly better results.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
