Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the presence of bacteria on the tooth-facing surface of ePTFE barriers and the clinical outcome of membrane supported reconstructive periodontal surgery. 20 systemically healthy subjects affected by chronic periodontitis were enrolled. One tooth site per patient, associated with an angular bony defect and a probing attachment loss of > 4 mm, was selected to be treated by means of a guided tissue regeneration procedure using an ePTFE barrier membrane. Antibiotics (Augmentin 1 g/day) for 2 weeks were prescribed. In addition to the use of chlorhexidine for post-surgical plaque control, all patients were recalled once a week for professional tooth cleaning. The barrier material was harvested for SEM analysis after 4-6 weeks. Professional tooth cleaning and reinforcement of sel-performed oral hygiene measures were given at 1 mouth intervals after membrane removal. For each treated site, the difference in probing attachment loss between baseline examination and a follow-up examination after 6 months of healing was calculated. The results of the SEM-analysis revealed that bacterial colonization was evident in the collar area of all the retrieved membranes. In the mid...Continue Reading
