Abstract
Periodontal regenerative procedures attempt to increase the periodontal attachment, bone level and reduce pocket depth in order to improve the immediate and long-term clinical results of periodontally compromised teeth. Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) membrane and bone graft materials or their combination has been used for reconstruction of periodontal apparatus. After reflecting a full-thickness flap, thorough debridement and root planing were accomplished in the present case. A bioabsorbable collagen membrane was placed over the xenograft filled defect to treat an intrabony defect. The one-year-follow up showed improvement in clinical parameters with radiographic evidence of bone fill.
