ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition induced by subgingival bacterial dysbiosis, resulting in inflammatory-mediated destruction of tooth-supporting structures, potentially leading to the formation of infrabony defects. This case report describes the treatment of a patient who presented with a combination 1-2-wall defect on tooth 21. To maintain the residual periodontal attachment and minimize esthetic consequences, a regenerative approach was performed using recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rh-PDGF-BB) and ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
At the time of postscaling/root planing reevaluation, a 34-year-old Asian male initially diagnosed with molar/incisor pattern stage III grade C periodontitis exhibited a 6-mm residual probing depth on the mesiopalatal aspect of tooth 21. Periodontal regenerative surgery was performed using rh-PDGF-BB with ß-TCP, without the use of a membrane.RESULTS:
At the 1-year follow-up, a significant reduction in probing depth and radiographic evidence of bone fill were observed. Additionally, re-entry surgery for implant placement at site tooth 23 confirmed bone fill in the defect on tooth 21.CONCLUSION:
These results demonstrate the efficacy of rh-PDGF-BB with ß-TCP in enhancing periodontal regeneration and support its use as a treatment option when treating poorly contained infrabony defects in the esthetic zone.Key words
