Abstract

Managing furcation defects constitutes a problem in successful periodontal therapy. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is the mainstay for the management of such defects but is expensive. This study makes use of indigenously prepared demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and amniotic membrane (AM) as a cost-effective alternative. The purpose of the study was to compare the clinical outcome of grade II and III furcation defects with and without using indigenous DFDBA and AM prepared at Central Tissue Bank, MAIDS. 18 systemically healthy patients with chronic periodontitis displaying either grade II or III furcation defects were treated with open flap debridement (OFD) + intramarrow penetration (IMP) (control group) and OFD + IMP + DFDBA + AM (test group). The clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. All parameters were statistically analyzed. Both treatment modalities resulted in improvement in all clinical variables evaluated. Radiographic dimensions evaluating bone fill showed a statistically significant difference in the test group compared to the control group. Within the limitations of this study, data suggest GTR using indigenously prepared DFDBA and amniotic membrane to be an economical and viable option for treating furcation defects.
