Periodontal regeneration with Bio-Oss for intrabony defect management: A case report

The goal of periodontal therapy is to preserve and regenerate the supporting structures of teeth affected by periodontitis. This report presents the management of an intrabony defect associated with teeth 16 and 17 in a 37-year-old female patient using demineralized bovine bone mineral (Bio-Oss®; Geistlich Pharma AG, Switzerland) and a GTR membrane (Bio-Gide®; Geistlich Pharma AG, Switzerland). Following initial non-surgical therapy, open flap debridement with regenerative treatment was performed. Clinical and radiographic follow-ups at one, three, and six months demonstrated a marked reduction in pocket depth and radiographic bone fill, indicating successful periodontal regeneration. Thus, we show the effectiveness of xenograft-based regenerative therapy in localized chronic periodontitis.
