p(HEMA) composite as allografting material during therapy of periodontal disease: three case reports.

ABSTRACT

The p(HEMA) composite is shown to be a possibly effective allografting material for therapy of periodontal disease. Three cases from a clinical pilot study are presented in this report. The p(HEMA) composite may be used alone or as a part of more complex biomaterial, together with tricalcium phosphate ceramics. Further scientific and clinical work is needed for definitive judgement on the use of the p(HEMA) composite in periodontology.
