Abstract
The excisional new attachment procedure was used to treat 75 suprabony pockets on 32 teeth in 9 patients. One-year postoperative measurements demonstrated an overall mean pocket reduction from 4.7 mm to 2.0 mm, of which 2.1 mm (77%) was new attachment and 0.6 mm was recession. Average amount of new attachment and percentage of new attachment were greatest on the midlingual surfaces of the teeth treated in this study. The results of this study showed the excisional new attachment procedure to be a simple, effective, and predictable procedure for achieving pocket elimination by means of a clinical new attachment of the gingival tissues in suprabony pockets.
