Popis: | Various particle sizes of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) are currently used to treat patients with periodontal osseous defects. However, the effect of particle size on the healing of human intrabony periodontal defects is unknown since there have been no direct clinical comparisons. The purpose of this study was to compare the bony defect resolution obtained using two different particle size ranges of DFDBA. Cortical bone from a single donor was processed and ground to final particle sizes of 250 mu to 500 mu or 850 mu to 1,000 mu using an analytic mill. Paired interproximal intrabony periodontal defects in 11 patients were grafted with DFDBA. Soft and hard tissue measurements were made using an electronic constant-force probe at the initial and reentry surgeries. Treated sites in 10 patients were reevaluated by reentry approximately 6 months postoperatively. Mean bony defect fill was 1.66 mm for the large particle group and 1.32 mm for the small particle group. There was no statistically significant difference in bony fill between defects grafted with the different particle sizes of DFDBA when used in humans. |
