Abstract

The objective of the study was to evaluate bacterial colonization of the tooth-facing surface of bioabsorbable membranes and to determine its effect on the clinical outcome of membrane supported reconstructive periodontal surgery. Twenty systemically healthy subjects affected by chronic adult periodontitis were enrolled in the study. One non-furcation tooth site per patient, associated with an angular bony defect and a probing attachment loss of > 5 mm, was selected to be treated by means of a guided tissue regeneration procedure using a polyglicolactic membrane. Antibiotics (amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium 1 g per 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 5 weeks for professional tooth cleaning. At 5 weeks sites with clinically exposed membranes underwent a second surgery to harvest residual barrier material which was analyzed by scanning electronic microscopic (SEM) for bacterial colonization. Sites with no membrane exposure at 5 weeks were allowed to heal without any other surgical intervention. Professional tooth cleaning and reinforcement of self-performed oral hygiene measures were given at 1 month intervals for ...Continue Reading
