Summary

This study shows that a rubber dam can be an effective barrier for guided tissue regeneration in treating infrabony defects. Clinical results after one year confirm its usefulness in promoting bone regeneration.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Regenerative Dentistry
  • Biomaterials in Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Infrabony defects present a significant challenge in periodontal therapy.
  • Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) aims to restore lost periodontal tissues.
  • Effective barrier membranes are crucial for successful GTR outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a rubber dam as a barrier material in guided tissue regeneration for infrabony defects.
  • To document the clinical outcomes of using a rubber dam in GTR procedures.
  • To assess the potential of an unconventional material for periodontal regeneration.

Main Methods:

  • Case series involving five patients with infrabony defects.
  • Surgical placement of a rubber dam as a barrier after flap elevation, debridement, and root planing.

  • Removal of the rubber dam after a 5-week period.
  • Clinical evaluation and reentry procedures at 1-year follow-up.

    • Main Results:

    • The rubber dam effectively acted as a barrier, preventing epithelial downgrowth.
    • One-year clinical measurements indicated successful regeneration of infrabony defects.
    • Reentry procedures confirmed the regenerative outcomes and the integrity of the barrier placement.

    Conclusions:

    • A rubber dam can serve as a viable and effective barrier in guided tissue regeneration for infrabony defects.
    • This approach offers a potentially cost-effective alternative for periodontal regeneration.
    • Further research may explore the long-term efficacy and broader applications of rubber dams in regenerative dentistry.
