Case 9: Periodontal Tissue Regeneration
This 55 years old man presented with deep gum pockets around his lower right second molar. The radiographs showed very advanced bone loss (left picture). Instead of extracting the tooth, a localised periodontal surgery was performed. A demineralized bovine bone matrix graft was applied. The graft was protected with a collagen membrane. The results after six months (right picture) show formation of new bone around the second molar. the periodontal pocket was resolved. (Case by R. Zambon)
