Abstract
The objective of this study was to clinically evaluate freeze-dried dura mater allograft (FDDMA) provided by the Tata Memorial Hospital Tissue Bank, in various periodontal osseous defects and to observe any unwanted healing pattern or adverse reaction.
Eleven systemically healthy patients with one infrabony/furcation defect and at least 6 mm or more loss of attachment at selected sites, were scheduled for surgery. At base-line, patients had a good maintenance regime, minimal gingival inflammation and mobility not more than 1 mm in the buccolingual plane (grade 2). The measurements taken were probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, intrasurgical level of bone and radiographic level of bone. Instead of surgical re-entry, transgingival probing was performed after 12 months of surgery. After debridement the defects were filled with demineralised freeze-dried bone allograft and covered with FDDMA barrier. The results after 12 months were satisfactory (mean gain of attachment 4.33 mm and mean defect fill 3.91 mm). No adverse reaction, infection or delayed wound healing was noted throughout the study.
