Successful regeneration of mandibular Class II furcation defects: an evidence-based treatment approach

摘要: The purpose of the present evidence-based critical review was to define goals and outcomes for regenerative therapy Class II furcation defects rank efficacy current procedures based on available literature. Meta-analysis employed quantitate mean overall expected changes compare various techniques. evidence presented in literature used determine factors affecting regeneration defects. These were establish decision-making trees enhance success highlight potential shortcomings technique. Guided tissue regeneration, alone or combination with bone replacement grafts, had highest ranking. Mean reduction probing depths gains vertical horizontal attachment levels all statistically significant at 6 months. Similar results obtained 12-month studies. Compared flap debridement, guided resulted greater levels. provided almost identical whether without root conditioning, suggesting that conditioning does not offer an adjunctive effect. A grafts yielded better than did reducing increasing derived from analysis these may assist clinician improving predictability
