Using a Composite Graft of Natural 15% Chitosan Gel in the Management of Intrabony Defects : A Case Series

Copyright© by the International Academy of Periodontology..

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to compare effects of smoking and smokeless forms of tobacco consumption (tobacco chewing) on periodontal disease parameters and response of these subjects to non-surgical periodontal therapy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients aged between 30 and 55 years with intrabony defects greater than or equal to 3 mm and pocket probing depth (PPD) greater than or equal to 5 mm were selected. All participants received chitosan gel (15% w/v) plus bovine porous bone mineral as a composite bone graft. Clinical and radiographic measurements were recorded at baseline, 3 months after healing and at 6 and 9 months. Significance was set at 0.05.

RESULTS: After nine months, all the defects treated with this combination showed PPD reduction of 5.30 ± 0.822 mm, relative clinical attachment level (CAL) gain of 5.80 ± 0.499 mm, reduction in intrabony defect (IBD) depth of 3.00 ± 0.497 mm and defect resolution of 78.32 ± 5.80 %, all of which were statistically significant.

CONCLUSION: Within the limits of this study, this case series study suggests that chitosan gel, along with bovine porous bone mineral, has a promising role to play in periodontal regeneration.
