Comparative evaluation of the efficacy of synthetic nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite bone graft (Ostim^®) and synthetic microcrystalline hydroxyapatite bone graft (Osteogen^®) in the treatment of human periodontal intrabony defects: A clinical and denta scan study

Abstract

BACKGROUND: ) bone grafts in the treatment of human periodontal intrabony defects clinically and radiographically through denta scan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ) bone graft. Clinical parameters including probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were measured preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 and 6 months for each of the defects using an occlusal acrylic stent. Radiographic parameters were measured with the help of denta scan preoperatively and postoperatively at 6 months. RESULTS: group, it was 2.71 ± 0.650 mm to 1.12 ± 0.563 mm. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that both the HA bone grafts produced statistically significant reduction in pocket depth, in the depth of osseous lesion, and a statistically significant gain in attachment level, irrespective of their physico-chemical properties.
