Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate clinical significance of the guided tissue regeneration (GTR) by using Biomesh membrane to the treatment of Class II furcation defects. METHODS: Totally 8 molars with Class II furcation defects of 6 periodontitis patients were treated. The clinical effects of GTR were evaluated by measuring changes of pocket probing depths (PPD), clinical attachment levels (CAL), and alveolar bone on X-ray films prior to and 6 months after the surgery. RESULTS: All patients had no swollen or pain reaction on these surgery areas after the surgery, and the PPD was reduced and the CAL was gain significantly 6 months after the surgery. The new alveolar bone formation was demonstrated. CONCLUSION: The GTR with Biomesh membrane is a good therapy method for Class II furcation defects.
