Brief Summary

The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is the regeneration of periodontal tissues which have been destroyed due to periodontal disease. Different modalities have been proposed to obtain regeneration of periodontal tissues employing various bone grafts, bone substitute materials, guided tissue regeneration (GTR), combination of bone grafts or bone substitutes with GTR, and growth factors. So, a new, fully synthetic, nanocrystalline, unsintered, phase-pure hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) has been suggested as a potential material for enhancing periodontal and bone regeneration since its chemical composition and crystalline structure correspond to the calcium phosphate component of natural bone and may have greater potential for resorption compared with sintered hydroxyapatite. A study performed in 2012, on 14 patients with paired intrabony periodontal defects of ≥4 mm participated in split mouth design study. The defects in each subject were randomly selected to receive nano-HA paste in conjunction with papilla preservation flaps or papilla preservation flaps alone. Probing bone levels from a customized acrylic stent and probing pocket depths were measured at baseline and again 6 months following surgery. No differences in any of the investigated parameters were observed at baseline between the two groups. Healing was uneventful in all patients. Both treatments resulted in significant improvements between baseline and 6 months in all clinical and radio-graphic parameters. In conclusion, they found that the nano crystalline hydroxyapatite bone graft in combination with collagen membrane demonstrated clinical advantages beyond that achieved by open flap debridement alone. The concept of porous guided tissue membrane has been tested recently as a modality that could stimulate bone formation of critical sized bone defects. Kim and co-workers claimed that asymmetrically porous GBR membranes with dual BMP-2 and ultrasound stimulation may be promising for the clinical treatment of delayed and insufficient bone healing. For guided tissue regeneration in periodontal therapy, membrane perforations could allow for gingival stem cells and periosteal cells to take part in supracrestal regeneration. The perforated section of the membranes would stabilize supracrestal fibrin clot through mechanical interlocking of fibrin strands with the membrane pores providing more membrane and clot stability. It has been suggested that regenerative failures may result when the tensile strength of the fibrin clot is exceeded, resulting in a tear and a long junctional epithelium type attachment.
