Description

Abstract

Introduction: This case study explores the treatment of a Grade II furcation defect in a mandibular molar using deproteinized bovine bone mineral (Bio-Oss) as a bone graft material. The patient was treated using two different approaches: first, with Bio-Oss alone and, in the second instance, with Bio-Oss combined with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF).

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes, including probing pocket depth (PPD), Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index(GI), Horizontal Depth Defect (HDD), Relative Clinical Attachment Level (RCAL), Relative Vertical Depth Defect (RVDD) and radiographic assessment of bone regeneration, were compared to evaluate the effectiveness of these two treatment modalities at baseline, 3 Months and 6 months interval.

Conclusion:  This case study demonstrates that Bio-Oss alone is effective in treating Grade II furcation defects, resulting in significant improvements in probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, and radiographic bone fill. However, the addition of PRF offers notable advantages in terms of soft tissue healing and bone regeneration, with faster healing times, reduced inflammation, and greater clinical outcomes.
