Treatment of Periodontal Intraosseous Defects

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of surgical flap design on the healing of intrabony defects treated by means periodontal regeneration. Forty patients were enrolled and allocated random in two groups. Patients of test group received a minimally invasive surgical flap , while patients of control group received a conventional access flap. In both group the intrabony were treated by means the same periodontal regeneration procedure (i.e application of enamel matrix derivative). Periodontal parameters were recoded at baseline and after 12-months observation time.
