Long-term assessment of combined osseous composite grafting, root conditioning, and guided tissue regeneration
1Department of Surgical Dentistry, University of Colorado School of Dentistry, Denver.
Abstract:
Although the short-term success of guided tissue regeneration has been widely reported, few studies on the long-term success of treatment have been published. The present investigation assessed the 5-year results of guided tissue regeneration procedures used alone or in combination with root conditioning and osseous composite grafts. Results indicated that the long-term success of guided tissue regeneration was significantly enhanced by the addition of root conditioning and grafting procedures.
