Tratamento de defeitos periodontais infra-ósseos associado ao β-tricálcio fosfato.

Abstract

One of the great challenges of periodontal dentistry surgeons is to find ways and materials capable of promoting boné regeneration, correcting anatomical deformities resulting from periodontal disease in a predictable way. The Guides Tissue Regeneration (GTR) technique associated with the use of graft biomaterial has been generating good results. Autogenous bone has osteogenic and osteoinductive capacity, but some inconveniences stimulate the search and search for new ideal materials. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical course of 2 patients with a history of treated periodontal disease, undergoing periodontal support therapy who had remaining infra-bone defects, using the technique of tissue regeneration associated with the use of alloplastic bone substitute based on β Tricalcium-Phosphate (β-TCP), material with osteoconductive capacity. In one patient, it was performed on posterior teeth and the other on anterior ones. The results in anterior teeth were more promising than in the clinical case where posterior teeth were treated. It can be concluded that the applied regenerative protocol was efficient in stabilizing the progression of periodontal disease, however, its success in gaining clinical attachment was not predictable.
