Evaluation of periodontal flap procedures done using guided tissue regeneration (Gtr) versus guided tissue regeneration (gtr) with bone graft

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to assess the prevalence of GTR and GTR with bone graft procedures for periodontal therapy at Saveetha Dental College. Retrospective data of 28 patients was obtained and segregated. The inclusion criteria included 21-65 years age group, patients who underwent frenectomy/frenotomy and visited between June 2019 to April 2020. Once the data was obtained it was statistically analyzed using SPSS by IBM version 20. In the present study out of the 28 patients that were assessed males were 64.3% and females were 35.7%. The patients were within the age group of 21-65 years with a mean age of 39.75 plus or minus 12.04 years. Maximum numbers of Regenerative Procedures are done in the ages of 38, 39 and 47 years each with 10.7% of the study population. Out of the total 28 Regenerative Procedures, a procedure using guided tissue regeneration alone constitutes about 39.3% whereas 60.7% of the regenerative Procedures were performed along with bone graft as an adjunct to guided tissue repair. Chi Square Test was performed between the different variables but there was no association. Although traditional non-surgical and surgical periodontal therapy can be predictably used to arrest the progression of the disease and in the treatment of mild defects, it might be inadequate for the treatment of moderate and severe defects.
