  • Title: Bioactive glass and bioabsorbable membrane in the treatment of a maxillary class II furcation defect: case report with 6-month re-entry.
    Author: Giusto TJ.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2005 Jan; 26(1):41-2, 44, 46 passim; quiz 52-3. PubMed ID: 15948509.
    Abstract:
    The combination of bone graft materials with guided tissue regenerative procedures has been shown to have predictable positive results in periodontal defects, especially furcations. The following case report will demonstrate a severe class II furcation defect in a maxillary molar that was treated with combination therapy using bioactive glass and a bioabsorbable membrane made of a copolymer of polylactic/polyglycolic acid. Six-month re-entry revealed substantial clinical fill of the furcation defect. Comparison radiographs also demonstrated fill in the region.
