Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent afflictions
affecting the human beings. When occurs, it destroys the tooth
supporting structures like periodontal ligament, cementum and
alveolar bone. If untreated, tooth may become mobile and finally
may get exfoliated. The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is
creation of an environment that is conducive to maintaining the
patient's dentition in health, comfort and function. Periodontal
therapy is directed not only at inflammation control but also at
pocket reduction and associated bone defect. The shift in
therapeutic concepts from resection to regeneration has
significantly impacted the practice of periodontology. Regeneration
of lost bone and periodontal attachment improves the support of the
tooth and its prognosis. Bone replacement grafts have been shown to
produce greater clinical bone defect fill from flap debridement
alone. In most of the clinical studies, the osseous grafted sites
have outperformed the non grafted sites in the regeneration of the
lost periodontal structures. This research work evaluated the
efficacy of -tricalcium phosphate plus hydroxyapatite in the
treatment of periodontal infrabony defects."
