Resumo

Objectives: The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the efficacy of Fisiograft™ as a bone graft materialin the treatment of three wall vertical defects in generalized chronic periodontitis patients and theirclinical and radiological evaluation. Materials and methods: Twenty patients (with 30 defects) diagnosedwith generalized chronic periodontitis having two or more three wall vertical defects were selected for thisstudy. Clinical parameters like plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachmentlevels were recorded at different points of time over six months. Radiographic evaluation included the depthof the bone defect and the percentage of bone defect fill, and was carried out for both the groups at baseline,three months and six months. After recording clinical parameters and administering phase-1 therapy, thesites were randomly treated either with Fisiograft™ or open flap debridement only. Results: At the end of sixmonths there was a significant reduction in the plaque and gingival scores in both test and control groups.There was 64% decrease in probing pocket depth for the test site as compared to 55% decrease seen for thecontrol group. Similarly there was an 85% gain in clinical attachment level from the baseline to six monthspost operatively for the experimental group in comparison to 69% gain for the control group. Furthermore,44% bone fill was observed for the experimental site whereas only 18% of bone fill was evident in the controlsite. Conclusion: Fisiograft™ improves healing outcomes, leads to a reduction of probing depth, a resolutionof osseous defects and a gain in clinical attachment, compared with open flap debridement by itself.
